Word spread fast on the internet this morning that Palm was going to be running into a delay getting two of its handsets out, most likely forcing their release towards the end of the year.

Palm took action, swooped in and notified Engadget and posted on Twitter that the claims were false and Pre would still be launching as planned in Q2 of 2009.

We all get a little jumpy, especially with would-be-bad news, but I’m glad Palm was on top of this, and I’m certainly still thrilled the Pre will be launched on schedule.
