Palm Pre Launch Date June 6
So, the date has finally been announced – and a price! It will retail at $199.00 and will be available June 6. But why does that price seem familiar? Oh, thats’ the same price as the iPhone! 
Finally, the Palm Pre is here and Pimp My Pre can get to making applications and themes for it! You too!
We already have plans to get a Pre on the day of launch, so we’ll be posting pics and information on June 6th or 7th with details.
With the announcement of the June 6th launch date for the Pre, it will come just a few days before Apple’s WWDC – stealing some thunder from Apple (and, more than likely, quite a bit of business).
Customers will be able to purchase the Palm Pre at Best Buy, Radio Shack and select Wal-Mart stores. The smartphone also will be available in Sprint stores and on the Web at Sprint.com.
In addition to being the potential savior for Palm, the Pre is also an attempt by Sprint to gain relevance again as a competitive telecom company. According to The Wall Street Journal, Sprint has lost more than 6 million subscribers over the past six quarters. The company is hoping that the Palm Pre will do for it what Apple’s iPhone did for AT&T.
We’re excited and ready and will provide links to where you can purchase one when they are available. Developers – start working so we can Pimp Out some Palm Pre’s!
