Palm Pre to be released in the UK on October 30th?

According to the Palm web OS Blog, the popular Palm Pre smartphone will be hitting the UK in the end of October. Of course, this is not confirmed, but sounds very reasonable, as pre-Christmas period is always hot for sales, and O2 definitely won't miss the occasion. Regarding the price... the source says it will be the same as the iPhone – which model, we don't know yet.
