Tech Rumor of the Day: Sprint, Palm

One thing about Sprint (S Quote), it's pretty consistent.

The stumbling telco has big plans to launch its make-or-break Palm (PALM Quote) Pre phone on the weekend of June 5, just days before the newer, cheaper Apple(AAPL Quote) iPhone is expected to be introduced. The Pre June 5 "launch lunch!" date was referenced Thursday in a Sprint memo obtained in smoking gun fashion by BoyGeniusReport.

This isn't exactly a perfect Sprint-like misstep. If Sprint were true to form, the company would have squandered any leading-edge opportunity and delayed the Pre launch fiasco to some post-iPhone date.
