Palm Pre Release Date to Be Announced May 19 – Report

You may have stopped putting a lot of stock into Palm Pre rumors – and after about 20 billion of them, who could blame you – but here’s one with a specific detail about the release date that might carry some weight.

The Boy Genius Report Monday night posted a claim that one if its reliable tipsters (as opposed to the unreliable ones!) has told them that Sprint and Palm will take out an ad in the Wall Street Journal May 19. In that ad, they will supposedly announce the release date for the Pre.

A potential release date of June 7 has received the most attention over the past couple of weeks, but June 5 and May 17 also have been mentioned.
