VERY annoying brake squeak...

I have a constant squeak coming from the driver's side front brake. The squeak is continuous and only goes away as you apply the brakes. I jacked the front end off the ground and the passenger side tire seems to rotate much easier than the driver's side. There is plenty of pad left, but it appears that the inner pad is about 1/3 less than the outer pad. Is it possible that the inner piston isn't releasing or the pad isn't moving freely? I'm getting ready to take it in under warranty, but I'd like some ideas before I go in. Thanks!

Steve
