There is a real buzz about the Interwebs about the Palm Pre and its release date (would that be a Pre-release??)  In this corner, you have May 16, 2009.  A fairly plausible date, and only about two weeks from Monday.  On the other hand, rumors are starting to percolate now that we may have to wait until June 7.  That may seem like only a few weeks, but don’t be fooled.  Palm’s windows of opportunity may be narrowing significantly.  The closer it approaches to the release of iPhone 3 this summer, the more the Pre’s buzz will get drowned out by the legions of iPhone acolytes.  So, the best advice for Palm would be to release it as soon as possible in order to maximize the time before the iPhone buzz machine begins.  In fact, I am free today…what do you say, Palm.

Hang onto your tax returns, folks.  Rumor has it that the Palm Pre may not be waiting until summer as previously reported.  In fact, some folks are indicating that it could be out as early as Tax Day, April 15, which is right around the corner.  But before you go scraping the pennies out from under your couch, we should note that this one came to us second hand from a Sprint customer service representative.  These are the same folks who notoriously misrepresented a variety of ROM upgrades on numerous Windows Mobile phones.  Not calling anyone a liar, I’m just saying take this one with a grain of salt…and then some.
