As disappointed as it makes me to say this, I really doubt we'll hear anything about pricing and availability for the Pre 3 and TouchPad before June at the earliest.
I'm a Sprint Pre owner...and while I'm not one of those that's terribly upset with Palm's backtracking on bringing WebOS to legacy devices, I think they absolutely need to get concrete information out on carriers/pricing/availability and how they're going to 'make things right' before the two year-anniversary of the original device...
Otherwise, on June 7th, a lot of people will be done with their contracts and looking for new phones. Without anything definitive from Palm, they'll decide they can't keep waiting and wave goodbye to WebOS like many others have done in recent months.
We've seen some info about the Veer in the past week, so hopefully there's reason to be optimistic about the Pre 3!

Yes, it feels like such a long wait, especially with so little information. Even if it takes till late summer to come out, i'd feel much better knowing the carrier partners up front so we could plan our upgrades or be prepared to switch carriers if anybody out there would actually be doing that.
Not sure if you caught the latest Engadget Show, but Jon Rubinstein mentions that it'll be a gsm phone, so you can narrow it down to at least AT&T or T-mobile (or both!).
