Oh jeez, just when we thought we could settle down a bit from all the recent press releases and leaks regarding the Pre. But no, here we are with both an official email and Press Release saying the long-awaited Palm Pre will be flying off shelves starting June 6th for an iPhone-like $199 on two -year contract. Considering this device is brand new, and already goes for $199 while the iPhone, when new, started off at $599, the price seems more than reasonable.

The device, according to a Palm blog post, will be available in Sprint stores (naturally), as well as Best Buy, Radio Shack and “select Wal-Mart stores.” Palm notes that the $199 includes a rebate and the the device will also require use of an unlimited data package.
