Touchstone dock for Palm Pre to run $69.99?

Sick of Pre rumors? We certainly hope not, because some magical font of believable Pre data seems to have started gushing fresh information recently with no signs of slowing down. Latest to the table is a sticker price for the Touchstone dock, an inductive charger that'll work with a special magnetized non-stick battery cover for the Pre to juice your baby's batteries without a plug -- and it looks like you're going to have to pony up some serious cash for the pleasure. Screens on some computer somewhere deep inside Sprint are apparently pegging the Touchstone at a stiff $69.99, which is an awful lot to pay to simply charge your phone in style; cool, sure, but $70 worth of cool?

Although $69.99 is high, I was expecting around $100 dollars or more

In other news, you can now order Treo 650's for free so long as you don't care about a camera. I'll take 20.

Yes Chris, it is $70 + tax worth of cool! I also was expecting it to be more than that.

This will be a multifunction charging station that will probably also charge a bt headset and some other products down the line. That's an acceptable retail price for it. I won't buy one, but it's tempting.

$70 is WAY too much for a charger. If it came with an extra battery, then maybe. It should be $30, maybe $35.

i agree....someone is gonna be fired for sure.. not only showing OUR SYSTEM, but showing SKUS and prices for stuff that hasnt even been released

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 14th 2009 6:50AM]

Um, I'm going with...let's see now...HELL YEAH it's worth $70.

Calm down everyone... It's only a late April's fool: look at the update date :-) (though I'm not used to that M/D/Y notation being in .eu )

the $0.00 treo 650 sku is an exchange sku for warranty replacements. But yeah, I would agree that someone should get fired, they were just smart enough to not display any store information and this will be the first charger I actually pay money for.
