Palm Pixi heads to Sprint...For some reason or the other

Well folks, there you have it. Boy Genius is reporting that the new webOS device, the Palm Pixi is Sprint-bound. The specs are kind of lackluster, especially the omission of WiFi, but we already knew the Pixi was a lower-end device. What I'm confused about is why Sprint would be getting this device when subscribers are already able to get the high-end Pre now for just about $100. It seems a smarter move for Palm would be to give this one to Verizon and corner 50% of the carrier market.
