If you’re Palm you’re hoping that Pre owners love their phones so much that they cherish and protect them for always. So when a guy who owns a Palm Pre drops it in his beer just to see what happens, you can’t be too happy. It just doesn’t say a whole lot about how much a person values a phone when they drop it into a mug of beer.
On the upside, it stays on for about a minute before giving up the ghost. Compare that to the possibly real video directly below it of an iPhone 3GS that was dropped in a pool and kept recording video.
My first thought when seeing the pitcher was “Will it blend?”.
One more nail in our coffin as the last transmission by the Pre was to the mothership circling the Earth giving it the attack orders. Didn’t you see District 9?
The guy also does not value his beer :-/
wow, it lasted for quite some time!
who says the pre is dead? may just tuned of screen after 1 minute of inactivity. thats quite usual, no?
that’s a good point. anyone with a pre want to try this out and let us know what happens?
No, they called it and it vibrated, the screen would have turned back on when they called it.
I agree with Flo…show some respect for the suds! We all know that the Pre is too little, too late. Looking forward to see if new Android phones can challenge the iPhone or if they too will meet a liquidy (I made that word up just now) grave.
The G1 is a ridiculous phone and i’m LOVING the android market.
Too little too late? Maybe as competition. But as a quality phone? There’s no such thing as “too late.”
But Will It Blend? … http://www.yout...h?v=qg1ckCkm8YI
actually liquidy is a word, it means semifluid
Hmm…seems like a waste of a decent phone. The iPhone vid is a bit better.
the iPhone was only in the water for a couple of seconds… hardly impressive.
wonder what would happen if they were both dropped in side by side, wait until they no longer respond to a call then take ‘em out and see what happens when they’re dried out.
Wonder what the Genius Bar would make of that
Some sort of overpriced but achingly fashionable cocktail?
>how much a person values a phone when they drop it into a mug of beer.
The person in question here appears to be a moron so I can’t imagine that proves anything.
Just another video that makes everyone who watches it slightly stupider. Damn I’ve got to quit falling for the utterly pointless. You guys seem to be into it though…I’m curious why you didn’t post one of the vids of someone killing their iphone? The production values are much better:

I guess it proves that no one values their iPhone huh? [Employing TC inference.]
yep, that’s a winner too.
RE: iPhone 3GS Shot With 9mm and Burned
I bet he used iMovie to make that.
Not very useful to the planet to be burning iPhones. At least Apple uses a mercury free production method.
Does this guy know about jail breaking? I mean the iPhone of course.
Is this the guy that put his kitten in a blender last week?
Or was that the cat in the box ????
This is clearly a case of alcohol abuse. Looks like a cheap light beer though, at least he didn’t waste something good.
The best part about this video is that it was recorded using an iPhone 3GS.
hmm ?
Area man?
Anyway, doing stuff with phones is fun!

If that beer was Bud Lite, it probably made it taste better.
Recession? What recession?
Wow…if they’ve got the money to throw away on this stuff, maybe they can just wire me a few hundred dollars…same loss.
Mike, can we kill the phrase “gave up the ghost?” Thanks.
