According to Mashable, Radio Shack retail stores in the US are about to drop both the Palm Pre and Palm Pixi from their stock. This would indicate the last death knell of the beleaguered company, and indicates that something needs to change soon or the Pre will be one of those great potentials that never took off (or it already is).

I am using a Pre at the moment, and while I really like the OS and hardware, I haven’t been able to use it as my daily driver. There are too few apps (are we app reliant) and the phone is too slow when multi-tasking for me to really want to use the features it offers. Sure, its card system is incredibly intuitive — brilliant even — but none of the apps are worth keeping open, in my opinion. This is a fault of the development stream, of the advertising, and of bad timing.
