With shortages like what we’re hearing, not long.Will and I talk up the imminent Palm Pre launch on Sprint and how folks shopping at Radio Shack or Best Buy will potentially be out of luck. We can only hope that stock will build up over the following weeks. Rumours of the next-generation iPhone also spark some discussion, and make us wonder about what to expect from Apple’s WWDC show coming up early next month.
