Let's get serious folks - Palm is about to:

1) introduce the Pre to Europe in a few weeks.

2) have a second carrier in the U.S. (Verizon in case you haven't kept up with current news) and introduce the Pre to the new carrier.

3) Pixi is about to come out.

It would make no sense to introduce a new Pre, when your about to introduce your first Pre to new markets and a new carrier.

If you look at what Apple did, once they had introduced the iPhone to other markets, and had established themselves with the iPhone as a new player in the smartphone market, then months later they introduced the next generation iPhone.

Realistically, your looking at least 9 to 12 months after Verizon kicks off. Which means you'll start hearing about the new Pre in about 6 - 9 months, with a possibility of getting a new version by 2011 holiday season or with a intro at CES in 2012. IMHO

Of course a memory upgrade is possible sooner than that.
