Palm Sighting: The Defenders 20
Mon, 11 Oct 2010 11:16 am EDT
Sometimes we see a Pre, sometimes a Pixi... but both? In the same scene? Right next to each other? Unheard of, at least until now. It was the pilot episode of the new television series The Defenders on CBS that brought this crazy random happenstance, and we even get to see the Sprint Pre running a native UI (unsure what’s going on in with the motion-blurred Pixi). Granted, the show’s producers took some liberties to and made the phone’s background appear to be a super-huge-letters text message (and what’s this, a missed call?), but we’ll give them a bit on artistic license there. But here’s a question... why’s Jim Belushi the one with the Pixi?
Have you recently spotted the Pre, Pixi, or another Palm device on your favorite show? Drop us a note at pretips@precentral.net with the show and a few relevant details like air date, time in the episode, and an online video link if you've got one!

Cool
Fun times I guess but I its nothing new.
Because no *man* would be caught dead with a Pixi.
I used to see Palm devices on the show Heroes all the time. I've seen the Pre and even the Centro on there before. Of course that show was heavily supported by Sprint though. I miss that show. I also just saw the Centro on a rerun of How I Met Your Mother yesterday.
It's like Caine and Hackman in the same scene. THIS IS MY THESIS MAN!
video? or is it flash? well then, nevermind...
Anyone notice the Pixi in the Marshall's "Gorgeous Cashmere Sweaters" commercial?
I thought that was a Pixi. It went by too fast to know for sure.
I wouldn't be sure of it, either, if it weren't for the wonder of DVRs.
I've had like 8 girls complement me on my pixi. A couple definitely wanted to bangdow.
that's not saying much. you essentially have a phone that the girls would like to have, not one a man would actually carry.
Hey man, don't underestimate the power of having something that is an instant set-opener. Having girls compliment you on your phone is a Good Thing (TM).
A Dr. Horrible reference on Precentral? What a crazy random happenstance.
It's curtains for you, Doctor. Lacy gently wafting curtains.
By the way, heres the youtube video of it.

must be a low budget show.
Actually it takes a real man to carry a Pixi. Thank God I'm secure enough in my manhood to carry one.
Madame Primrose sees a little phone named, Sue.
Isn't it obvious.. he's using to Pixi to boost Bob's self esteem, make him a better secret agent.
Belushi must not be as insecure about his masculinity as the OP. Alternatively, he's sending you hints he wants a little side action *wink wink* by the choice of cell phone.
