The only thing we know about when the Palm Pre will be released is Real Soon Now. That’s how long is left in the “first half of 2009″ time frame that Palm and Sprint have spouted at least a thousand times. In the meantime, the one thing we know about how these launches work is that in order to get rid of all the bugs, some pre-production versions need to make their way into testers’ hands. Once that starts happening it’s only a matter of time before sharp-eyed folks start spotting them and snapping pics in the wild.
Some pics of that very nature, taken at a public event in San Francisco, have emerged online. A couple of testers were spotted snapping photos of the event with the Pre, so the eagle-eyed observer snapped pics of them. These look legitimate and according to the testers, we don’t have long to wait for the Pre. We knew that, though, didn’t we?
