Tired of waiting for the Pre to come out? Well, we’ll have to disappoint you, if you’ve been looking for yet another possible release date. Instead, there’s a rumor about something, which is actually much cooler, in our opinion. It is said that a phone, similar to the Pre, has been under development by Palm for quite some time now. The source also gives a few other details about it. In terms of appearance, the “Mini-Pre”, as the source calls it, is said to be smaller than its popular brother, but it is still unclear whether it would also sport a hardware QWERTY keyboard. However, one thing is for sure – if such a device really exists, it will undoubtedly utilize Palm’s brand new webOS. The “Mini-Pre” is said to come out as early as this fall, but we suppose that seeing it sometime around the end of the year is more likely.
