BGR is reported that his sources say the HP TouchPad will launch as early as June with a $699 price tag. It’s not clear if this is a 3G model and whether it is the 16GB or 32GB model.
The 16GB WiFi iPad retails for $499, while the Motorola XOOM is rumored to be priced at $799. Details regarding the XOOM are also still vague.

Those waiting for an official confirmation of the Palm Pre coming to Verizon got just that via a tweet sent out on Twitter by Verizon. Short but sweet for those hoping Verizon would carry the Palm Pre.
@lanvuch We will be carrying the Palm Pre smartphone early next year.
With confirmation complete, now we’ll look for news regarding any release dates and if Verizon’s Palm Pre will have any different specs. Anyone want a 16GB Palm Pre?

Palm and Sprint in their midnight announcement of the Palm Pixi let us know that the device would be available in time for the holidays. According to BGR, the launch date is set for October 20th, which would be a Tuesday. No word yet on pricing from either official or unofficial sources.
With prices dropping on the Palm Pre, one has to wonder where the entry-level webOS device will be slotted from a price perspective. If the device does drop on October 20th, perhaps that means Pre owners will get the native Facebook app along with a few new Synergy options. Check out our Palm Pixi Hands-On Preview or the abundance of eye candy that is our Palm Pixi Photo Gallery for more information.
