The Palm Pre launches on June 6th via the Sprint Network and the buzz is whether it will be everything it claims to be. The pre launch feedback on the device has been very impressive. The timing of the release is interesting - 2 days before Apple WDC. If apple was going to announce a new iPhone this would spoil that announcement completely. Palm's investor Robert McNamee of Elevation Partners, boasted that after tha launch of the Palm Pre "Not one of those people will still be using an iPhone a month later."
