That's the day that, according to Sprint and Palm, the much-discussed Palm Pre will first be available to customers. It's a long-awaited arrival for a device to which Palm is staking its hopes of revival and Sprint its ongoing viability as a telecom contender. Sprint Nextel confirmed Tuesday that Palm Pre will arrive June 6. Sprint, as reported weeks earlier, will be the exclusive carrier.
