A leaked Sprint document shows that the carrier could be gearing up to launch the Palm Pré in four weeks' time.

An anonymous tipster’s handed [1] an alleged “internal Palm memo” to Boy Genius Report. It carries the simple but clear message of “Launch” at 12pm on Friday, 5 June.

That's three days before Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) kicks off - and with it the anticipated announcement of the next iPhone.

That potential launch date only refers to North America, Sprint being the Pré’s official carrier over there. A Blighty-based carrier or launch date hasn’t been announced. ®
