PALM PRE TO BE LAUNCHED ON FEB. 15?

Here's an unlikely but still exciting rumor for Sprint subscribers and the growing number Palm Pre fans. According to an Intomobile.com article, a tipster has revealed that the Palm Pre may be launched as early as Feb. 15. The source also confirmed that a subscription to an active data plan will be a requirement for owning the Palm Pre. However, there are a few glaring factors that dispute the veracity of this exciting rumor. For instance, the FCC has yet to grant its approval to allow the Palm Pre entry into the US market. There is also an absence of a major marketing program that usually precedes the launch of a high profile handset such as the Palm Pre.
