Rumours of a GSM Pre have emerged on a Vietnamese forum showing high-quality photos clearly showing the SIM card slot behind the phone’s battery cover.
Earlier this month we reported on rumors of the Palm Pre coming to Verizon. At the time the CEO of Verizon Wireless was heard mentioning that the Palm Pre would be on the Verizon network over the next six months.
It could be the fact that the iPhone has been available for two years, or the fact that the iPhone is available in 3000 countries to the Palm Pre ‘s one, but Google Trends shows much more interest in Apple’s device. You do see a pretty decent spike there at the end of the graph, probably beefed up by the Pre launch. What could also explain the disparity, beyond the fact that Apple has a bigger marketing machine than Palm, is the probability that most “normal” people haven’t even heard of the Pre yet
