Based on an FCC filing, the Palm Pixi is en-route to Verizon, and better yet, it will be packing Wi-Fi.  With the update to webOS 1.3.2, the Pixi seems to be a nice mid-range handset for the occasional data user (though it still lags in several areas).  I see the device as a stepping stone between typical phones and high-end smartphones, which is exactly what Verizon needs.  Pick up those first-time smartphone buyers, and boost data revenue in the process.

The jury is out regarding a release date, but it's nice to see some hard evidence.  I have to agree with the speculation that the Pre and the Pixi might be released on the same day (think DROID and Droid Eris here).  Anyone want to wager a guess?  Sound off in the comments!
