After much speculation and a rather long way since the announcement, we’ve got May 16th as an official release date for the Palm Pre Plus. The news comes via an internal equipment brief sent to Engadget. Where not sure if it’s on a separate slide, but there is no mention of the Palm Pixi Plus.
Also missing is the price of the Palm Pre Plus on AT&T. Our recent poll suggests the Palm Pre Plus should be priced at $49.99, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see a higher number initially. This will be the first time Palm will go head to head on a carrier against the iPhone. The iPhone 3GS is priced at $199.99 and the very capable iPhone 3G clocks in at $99.
Chris both devices are going to be launched on the same date

Sure, the AT&T site lists both devices, but the Palm Pixi Plus is not listed on the release sheet provided by Engadget. PC is safely assuming the Pixi Plus will launch with the Pre Plus, but that’s not guaranteed. Most likely yes considering both appear on their site.
