At the All Things Digital Conference (D7)) Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher announced:

"And they [Palm] are not only are going to come and talk in more
detail about the Palm Pre than you have seen before, but they're
actually going to introduce some things that haven't even been
speculated, uhh, that the Palm Pre's going to be about to do that
haven't even been speculated on the blogs, and they're going to show
some cool features."

Palm's Jon Rubinstein and spokesmodel for the Palm Pre, investor, Roger McNamee are scheduled to speak at the conference in Carlsbad.  Let the rumors begin...They range from WiMAX included with the Palm Pre

Palm is bombarding tech websites with Palm Pre
ads in advance of the
phone's June 6 launch. Most of the display ads have a countdown timer
to the big day but according to Reuters, the countdown is not precisely accurate.
The Palm Pre will support IMAP IDLE on Gmail which is allow for better syncing and
push email.  It was noted that this feature will be faster than
BlackBerry action and beat out Apple's iPhone push email that only
works with MobileMe.

Boy Genius Report notes that during the June 5, night-before the Palm Pre
release date event, they might not
actually allow people to walk home with an early Palm Pre, due to concerns about shortages on opening day.

Gizmodo reports that the synergy sycning with Gmail may be overwhelming, "if you sync your Palm Pre
to your Gmail account, your contact list will
populate with basically every person you've ever emailed--that is,
unless you've edited it down on a regular basis." Added to Palm Pre
contact list mix will also be Facebook contacts, which could make the
process unmanageable if every Facebook friend is imported into the Palm Pre
Here's a case where your Facebook popullarity of friends could hinder your Palm Pre
connectiveness.

In Palm Pre emulaor videos it was revealed thatTwitter Search will be supported in Universal Search on the Palm Pre.
