For the mathematically-challenged, that means they&#8217;ll have 400,000 in total ready to unload.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe question this raises, of course, is whether this is good news or bad? Given that Palm and webOS were both hyped (mainly by an excitable tech press) as giant-slayers after their initial introduction, an order of this relatively small size could indicate Verizon does not share those expectations and isn&#8217;t planning to promote Palm&#8217;s new babies on the same level as their New Sensation, the Android-powered Motorola Droid &#8211; despite apparently getting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.palminfocenter.com\/news\/10011\/palm-pre-pixi-plussed-on-verizon-may-add-voice-dialing\/\">upgraded models<\/a>. Of course, it could also just mean that they&#8217;re being cautious.
