Palm Inc. said Monday morning that its wireless phones running on the new webOS operating system will be available on the AT&T wireless network. No specific launch date was given for the devices. In a statement, Palm will sell the Pre Plus for $149.99 and the Pixi Plus for $49.99 with a two-year contract and after a $100 mail-in rebate.
The phones were launched on the Verizon network in January, but it wasn't selling too well, the stock took a hit last week. So hopefully Palm will do better on AT&T since AT&T doesn't yet have any android devices except for the Backflip.

Originally i kind of ignore this story because I thought it was an April Fools joke, but it turns out to be real. Don't believe me, try pricing a Pre Plus on Verizon's site and add the Mobile Hotspot feature at checkout.
Here's an official statement from Verizon regarding to the hotspots:
"Customers who purchase or upgrade to a Palm Pre and Palm Pixi will get the Mobile Hotspot for free. Existing customers who already have the service will find charges on their next bill will be $0.00."
