Photos of Palm's New NYC Retail Store
We've got a photo gallery of Palm's new flagship retail store at Rockefeller Center in New York City. The Rockefeller Center retail store is located directly across from the Radio City Music Hall on 74 W. 50th St. in Midtown Manhattan.
The store carries Palm's entire product portfolio of smartphones, handhelds, mobile managers and accessories, it will also feature live demonstrations and activations on three major U.S. carriers. Palm views the new location as a way to introduce Palm smartphones and handhelds beyond Palm's core customers of mostly business professionals to a broader group of consumers.

Ahem - Marketing not one of PALM's strong points, eh?
Those windows should NOT be blocked by those posters - makes the store look decidedly uninviting.

However, be that as it may, I think those banners should be moved from blocking the windows - that store looks VERY uninviting like that.
Stools?
#2 Are those employees behind the counters cashiers or just bored sales staff or is there some kind of a "Palm Genius Bar" within the store?
#3 Finally, why do we keep seeing "entire product portfolio of smartphones, handhelds, mobile managers and accessories" mentioned in the press materials?
Did no one @ Palm notice that the "mobile manager" category consists of exactly one (now discontinued) product wearing the old branding & logo? I suppose that's Palm's way of saying tons of unsold LD inventory still exists in the channel. Besides, it makes for a more impressive-looking lineup to keep the LD listed as long as possible.
The LifeDrive is indeed the Bernie Lomax of Palm's product line!

What I'd like to see.
If the watch place in the mall can do it, why can't Palm?

Why would Palm want to do this (prolong the life of your old PDA) when they could just sell you another fresh, expensive device instead? Simple economics, Bubba.

I'll call you whatever I want to, Bubba. The only troll here is waiting for you in the mirror. Run to the dumba$$. Now.

WAITAMINUTE! Where are the 'interactive displays'?
I wonder if they're buggy?
Or hackable? (giggle)
Or the purest of vaporware?

Wow - that's a LOT of security cameras!
I'm for SURE not a New Yorker - is that the norm!?
Yikes!
[store looks kinda dinky for a "flagship" but, then again, someone somewhere posted that it was 600 square feet - looks about right.]
