AT&T Pre to launch in May based on FCC document?
An inhabitant of the precentral forums likes to snoop around FCC filings.Looking for manufacturer O8F (Palm), he noticed that whenever Palm released a webOS device, the date that the external public photos were to become available matched up with the eventual launch date for the device. So when he recently came across a model with FCC ID of O8F-CASG, he noticed a photo availability date of May 10, 2010. In trying to figure out what device the FCC could be referring to, he remembered that O8F-CASC belonged to both the Sprint Palm Pre and the Verizon Palm Pre Plus. Assuming that the C on the end of the ID represents CDMA, the G on the end of the new ID could mean a GSM version of the Pre. Add in the fact that the carrier said it will offer two webOS handsets this year, and the May 10th photo availability date, and what develops is a May 10th launch of AT&T's Pre. Of course, this is all conjecture, but it actually makes a lot of sense. No word on the specs of the phone, or pricing.
