[Cialug] OT: Pre

[David Champion]

Rumor has it (from Engadget.com) that the Pre will be available from 
AT&T and Verizon in 6 months when the Sprint exclusive deal is up.

There are also supposed to be over a dozen Android phones available 
later this year, according to Google... that could mean worldwide 
though, so 11 in China and 1 more in the US.
