Default Pre's going out to "Real Reviewers" wednesday?

According to Crunchgear.com
**removed broken link, see post below for good one**

Might be seeing these show up in the mail, or at least if you're not that blessed, start seeing/hearing more from the wilds!!!

If this is true I'd think we would see a soft launch 2 weeks or so after this.

Does this mean I have not been selected as a reviewer? (Snif)

I'm I'm starting to wonder if this Real Reviewer thing is just another bait and switch by Palm, and that all the real reviewers are actually fake or on Palm's payroll.

Maybe they'll realize they don't need to give out phones to get "real reviewers"

I'm pretty sure the only contact information they asked was phone number and email.

I hope the "PALM!!!! Guy" gets one.
Now that would be a great unboxing video.

Is that true? Once they do that, I'd get suspicious.

Although it could also mean those who get chosen have to go through a background check to see if they're legit? That's the only legit reason I can see for the social.

So that's what they meant by "real" reviewers.
