Just my 1or2cents worth: Planning a promotion based on the hope that you
will be able to purchase *any* product 3 to 4 months in the future is a very
risky strategy. Anything could happen to make that product unavailable when
you need it. It would be a much better idea to acquire the product first.
You can't really blame Palm if they decide to stop making some model, and
you can't really expect them to announce discontinued models before current
inventory is depleted.
