- parallax7d 16y agoYeah, google could stand up to verizon if they wanted, they would just rather play ball now adays.
- orangecat 16y agoAt least as long as iPhone is AT&T only Which is probably a few more months. Yes there have been iPhone/Verizon rumors forever, but I get the impression they're real this time.
- houseabsolute 16y agoSomebody always gets the impression that they are real . . . :P
- chc 16y agoAnd eventually someone is usually right. Apple really was in negotiations with Intel, they were secretly maintaining an x86 branch of OS X, they really did have a fully touchscreen-controlled iPhone in the works, etc. Rumors aren't always right, but they're not always wrong either. And I find that smart people believing the rumors is generally a good sign that they're about to be revealed as true.
- gamble 16y agoYeah, practically every Apple product in recent years has been leaked before the official announcement. The difficult part is separating fact from the false rumors and fabrications.
- mechanical_fish 16y agoIndeed. Isn't it interesting? Apple (according to rumor) puts in a big order for CDMA chips, and at just about the same time Google hastens to curry favor with Verizon at the expense of their own reputation. Gosh, it's almost as if Verizon has just recently made some kind of strategic deal to achieve a position where Google needs them more than they need Google, and has therefore begun dictating terms.
- Raphael 16y agoThe market for Android devices dwarfs iPhone.
