Verizon, AT&T Wish to Sell Palm Pre After Sprint Exclusivity Ends

It's been theorized that Sprint has exclusivity on the Palm Pre for six months or so, and it appears that Verizon has confirmed that, in a roundabout way.

During an investor conference Webcast on Thursday, Verizon Wireless executive Lowell McAdam said the following:

"Over the next six months or so you will see devices like Palm Pre and a second generation Storm."

This comes a day after AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson, speaking with host Walt Mossberg of The Wall Street Journal at the D Conference in Carlsbad, CA, confirmed a similar desire to sell the Palm Pre once Sprint's exclusive deal with the smartphone is up.

Leaked information already points to AT&T selling a "Centro-ish" device with the Pre's Palm Web OS on it, the Eos.

Verizon also indicated Android devices were coming, though no specifics other than "later this year" were given.
