Chinese troupe offers Palm Pre on wholesale

We know the Palm (NSDQ: PALM) Pre is organism prepped for its inauguration launch on Sprint’s networkd next month. That has to mean Palm is ramping up product of the Palm Pre in one of their Chinese component integration factories. And, with Palm Pre product presumably well underway, a new Chinese jobber has started oblation the Palm Pre on wholesale!

People’s Republic of China-based Ludle International has posted pics of a Palm Pre in the wilderness, suspension out next to a Palm Centro and iPhone 3G, no less. Ludle is apparently offering bulk-gross sales of the Palm Pre to all interested parties.

Being bloggers by craft, we have little use for wholesale Palm Pre’s. But, we did discovery it interesting that the Palm Pre has been said to lineament a plastic capacitance-based multi-touching display that is more scratch-prone than the iPhone’s multi-touching display. The Palm Pre is apparently more scratch resistant on the buttocks, but more prone to pick up smudges and fingerprints.

It’s only a matter of time before we can put option the Palm Pre through the ringer and see how it truly fares. If our preview experience with the Palm Pre is any indication, the Pre will be one helluva rival to Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) and RIM.
