Here's a little spicy rumor for you Palm (http://www.engadget.com/tag/palm) fans on this tranquil Sunday: according to TopTongueBarry who claims to work for AT&T, his company has just finished certification tests with GSM flavors of the Pre Plus (http://www.engadget.com/tag/preplus) and Pixi Plus (http://www.engadget.com/tag/pixiplus) ahead of a possible April 26th launch -- a date not far from what we've heard (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/atandt-launching-webos-device/) earlier (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/fcc-paper-trail-suggests-atandt-getting-pre-in-may/). However, the bigger news from Barry is that the big A will soon be testing a third mysterious webOS (http://www.engadget.com/tag/webos) device by the name of Palm Elan, which will apparently greet us mere mortals on May 10th. Another forum member Shadow-360 also dug up some cached pages that claimed to have accessories for the non-existent device, as pictured above. Of course, this could be just a crude joke for a keyboard-less Palm device that some seem to desire -- if you recall, Elan is also the name of the company that sued Apple (http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/elan-turns-the-tables-on-apple-sues-for-multitouch-patent-infri/) over multitouch patent last April. So, any thoughts on this leak? Are we all ready for a new webOS phone?
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]Palm Elan to be the next webOS smartphone, heading to AT&T?
