re: Michael Jordan Palm

What a dumb idea.

First of all, celebrity endorsement may be a good idea if you're trying to sell products people buy on a regular basis (like basketball shoes). But Palms don't get stinky and worn (at least not Palm's Palms), and you don't need a new one every few months. Look around. Do you see celebrities endorse cars & trucks? appliances? computers? No. They endorse beer, snacks, cigarettes, viagra.

Wake up Palm!! :)

Second, if you are going to get a celebrity spokesperson, for goodness' sake get someone that has something to do with technology!! Claudia Schiffer and Michael Jordan? What kind of morons is Palm paying to come up with these stupid ideas??? The two of them could even be geniuses, but these people pay others to keep them organized. Can you possibly picture Michael Jordan doing his own hotsyncing? Give me a break.

If you really want celebrity power, go for John Chambers, Linus Torvalds, or, better yet,

Bill Gates! <vbg>
