CNET talks about Palm manipulating new Palm Pre supply. Collins Stewart analyst Ashok Kumar expects disappointing results for the Pre. CrunchGear saysin  Analyst: Palm Pre is Dying Kumar’s “supply chain checks indicate that Palm has “drastically reduced its production orders” for the Pre. Kumar says “multiple hardware and software issues” have forced Palm’s hand here and that he doesn’t expect the company to meet its expected goal of one million units shipped in the second half of 2009. He even goes so far as to describe that figure as “highly unrealistic.” With Sprint losing customers, Kumar sees it highly unlikely that Verizon and AT&T customers will switch to Sprint.

So what do you think? Would you consider switching to Sprint for the Pre? Do you think the new Palm Pre has a chance?
