Palm Sighting: The Guild 13
Tue, 17 Aug 2010 10:55 am EDT 
Of all the online series out there, The Guild has to be the one with the most special spots in the hearts of geeks ‘round the world. Created, written, and starring geek goddess Felicia Day, as well as nerd king Wil Wheaton and a host of other rising geek stars. One of them, Vincent Caso, plays guildee Bladezz, and he’s wielding a guild-destroying-photo-taking (of the aforementioned and foreground blurry Wheaton and Day) Palm Pre. Our favorite phone, on one of our favorite shows? We can dig that.
Have you spotted the Pre, Pixi, or other 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!

Thanks - dropping the subject now :}
I'm totally in love with The Guild. Awesome seeing them using the Pre!
Kind of funny considering Microsoft had a large marketing investment into the Guild...
While it is true that Microsoft initially invested in them. Sprint has now become one of their major sponsors with a giant sprint advert at the beginning of new episodes as well as any advertisements within xbox marketplace has the sprint logo somewhere in the image.
What I am surprised though is that sprint isn't giving them one of their newer android phones since sprint has all but abandoned palm phones.
Starting to think all these 'Palm Sightings' are because the hardware has crapped out and the only thing they are now good for is 'props'. Gimme new hardware HPalm :(
This show must be Really OLD!!
Also just saw several pre sightings on "Pretty Little Liers" you know the show on ABC FAMILY!! where one of the girls is having a relationship with a teacher, and several murders have happened... perfectly normal day lol
A pre was used on the cancelled show FlashForward.
Temperance Brennon (aka, Bones) from the shw bones used one at least once.
she uses it all the time AND before the pre happened she had a palm treo 750 on the show too so i figure palm invests somehow? or the show's creators are big fans? idk
Ok spotted on a BBC comedy called the Old Guys on friday night in the UK. The guy asked for a smart phone and he got handed a palm pre in the box. My family think I am mad getting excited seeing the pre on the TV.
and this is odd as the BBC does not do advertising or product placement!
Bones, Castle and Flash Forward have all been mentioned here before. There's no need to reply with such old news like that, they're pretty much on top of things.
