The guys at PreThinking are citing an internal Sprint email that indicates employee training for the new device has already begun. Which could mean the launch is nigh upon us?

From PreThinking:

All the rumors and speculations of a mid-April/late April/May launch of the Palm Pre doesn’t appear to be too far of a stretch. Stated in an email from Sprint, “Employees can expect training to start in April as well as multiple communications to get them excited and ready to help our customers.” I was wondering if the training has begun — so I asked for a confirmation on that thought.
