Palm Pre drops to $99 at Best Buy (update: error is being corrected, says Best Buy)


Interesting -- just a couple days after Sprint CEO Dan Hesse told a conference that "its too early to tell" if the Pres a hit while talking about Android, the latest Best Buy ad shows Palms baby on sale for just $99 on a two-year contract. That ought to spike some sales, but well see if its just a one-week special or a permanent drop before we start trying to read any tea leaves here -- anyone running out to grab one?

Update: Best Buy marketing manager John Bernier has chimed in via his Twitter account to say that the Pre is $199 and that the "error is being corrected." Itll be interesting to see if any lucky customers managed to nab the device for less than a Benjamin.
