Bloggingstocks.com has posted the results of a survey of 1,200 consumers on "how likely they were to buy the Pre when it becomes available". The results are hardly mind-blowing: 2% likely, and 6% somewhat likely. However, they point out that these numbers correspond well with those of the original iPhone:
In a nutshell, our initial Pre results are almost identical to those of the original iPhone.
And while this doesn't necessarily mean that the Pre will go on to capture a big chunk of the market any time soon. But it does mean that if the Pre lives up to the hype it could wrestle a sizable number of customers away from the competition.
I think that while the Pre offers a lot out of the box (PIM suite, multitasking, physical keyboard, etc.), a lot of its appeal will depend on the application support it will have when and after it launches. Note to Palm: Hurry up and get your Mojo on!
