Palm Pre Plus goes out-of-stock with Verizon Wireless and AT&T

This could be a sign of something to come, or maybe just a strange coincidence. Either way though it is interesting to see that the Palm Pre Plus is now sitting with out of stock messages with both Verizon Wireless and AT&T. You know, maybe they both just really ran out of inventory, or maybe something new is in the works and the current inventory is low for a real reason. Of course, even being a Palm fan I have to think the latter is not the case. That said, if you were planning to pick up a Palm Pre here in the US it looks like you have a little bit of a wait. And while some are going to poke fun at the webOS smartphone and Palm in general, I remind you that the Verizon branded Pre Plus still has a good thing going — free Mobile Hotspot. But with that, it looks like both models are still available direct with HP, by way of the HP Wireless Central store. In other words, if anything this looks like a case of HP offering better prices and the carriers not wanting to be bothered. Then again, in most cases you can get a smartphone cheaper with a third party as opposed to direct with the carrier.
