Verizon, Google Discuss Mobile Phone Partnership
Verizon, Google Discuss Mobile Phone Partnership - WSJ.com
This would definitely be of interest to me. I am a Verizon subscriber and would be interested in purchasing a Google specific phone.
It would also create some competition for AT&T and the iPhone as they move forward, especially if they are to allow third-party applications to be added to the phone.
Finally, with some Google executives on the Apple Board of Directors and Al Gore, a big Google investor, on the Apple Board, I am wondering if we will see more of a partnership between Google and Apple on a device like the iPhone on other platforms, like Verizon.
It will be interesting to watch.

Well the war has begun. People who hacked their iPhones vs Apple.
I don’t personally have an iPhone, but I think it is ridiculous for Apple to treat their customers this way. If someone wants to hack their phone for additional functionality, they should be able to.
The law allows you to unlock your phone and I think Apple and AT&T crossed the line. Also, people did not receive a discount on their phone to be a slave to a service.
I think this is setting up Apple and AT&T for a lawsuit and a lot of unnecessary bad publicity. AT&T is already struggling with bad service and the sales of the iPhone are starting to lag behind expectations.
This move could have a big effect on stock prices of both companies.
