Palm Tungsten T3 Already Being Sold in Stores
I just found out today that a local OfficeMax is actually selling the Tungsten T3. A co-worker just left to go pick one up and hopefully, this afternoon, I'll be able to fondle one in the...er...flesh?
Even though Palm SG has an embargo on any information and actual products being provided or sold prior to October 1st, many of the details have already leaked out (e.g., the recent post by Sam).
While product leaks are common, actual sales aren't. Obviously, Palm SG needs to do something better to keep retailers on their (Palm's) launch schedule. Don't know what to suggest, however -- it's a tricky spot to be in.
The Tungsten T3 sounds really yummy, by the way -- I can't wait to check it out.

Yes, this seems to be what's happening. This is always the case when the new unit comes out. Just to show you that you can't control every retail store, especially if you want the product to be available on the launch date. Sony does a better job not because they are smarter, but because they always ship their units several weeks after the product announcement. However, that has been frustrating to many Sony users. So, you can't win in this situation.
