“‘We estimate that sales of the Palm Pre slowed again over the past week compared to the prior week but likely remain over 30,000 compared to less than 40,000 in the prior week and our estimate of 50,000-60,000 in the week ending June 26th,’ Pali analyst Walter Piecyk said in a research note this morning,” Paczkowski reports.

MacDailyNews Take: Beleaguered Palm’s dismal and rapidly declining results force us to revise our math from last week. Fargin’ incompetent Apple cast-offs! Let’s see…
We’ll give them 35,000 units per week (before returns) x 52 weeks = 1.82 million units per year. That’s down from 2.08 million at last week’s rates. In other, more harrowing, words for Palm: At current rates, and very generously assuming no further falloff in demand, Palm will sell fewer Pre units in its entire first year than the number of iPhone 3GS units that Apple sold in roughly their first week.*
No wonder Apple has all the mobile app developers.
*And, we’re not even counting iPhone 3G units.
You know the beautiful thing: June 29, 2009, is the two-year anniversary of the first shipment of the iPhone. Not one of those people will still be using an iPhone a month later. – Palm-backer Roger McNamee, Elevation Partners – March 05, 2009
