So why is Apple deciding to now offer Verizon users the IPHONE?
Simple...... Apple is threaten by Google's Android!
This Verizon gig will position their product to seize a larger share of the mobile pie by surpassing the Android in US Sales. According to businessweek.com the current U.S top sellers are 1) Blackberry(33%) 2)Android(26%) & 3)IPHONE(25%). This percentages shifty daily, but with Apple latest antic, expect the IPHONE to shift ahead of the Android & possibly knock Research In Motion Ltd.'S Blackberry out of the top spot. But will this Verizon version of the IPHONE offer more capabilities & features than AT&T's version???
Right now details are sketchy about Verizon's version, but according to several sources via Twitter & other media outlets, Verizon's version may be a 3G only device. This could mean that AT&T version might still outperform the Verizon version because of its 4G coverage.
BUT
AT&T spotty 4G coverage might prove costly if not address because Verizon's 3G coverage is very reliable!
So before jumping ship for this new verizon of the IPHONE, make sure you do your research because you wouldn't want to drop AT&T version or Google's Android or Research In Motion Ltd.'S Blackberry for a cool, yet error filled Verizon IPHONE!!!!
Verizon IPHONE sales start 2/10/2011.

Actually, the iPhone4 for Verizon is not identical to the one AT&T offers. You can find more info here: http://bit.ly/gRQjqg as the product launched today. I like that it will have the Mi-Fi feature, but CDMA will not let you use voice & your 3G Internet connection simultaneously.

Happy iPhone4ing!
