Verizon and Apple Working on Two iPhone like Devices

[chris]

Talk about a crazy day on the Verizon/iPhone rumor front. First we get talks, now we're up to development of two entirely new iPhone-like devices (http://www.everythingicafe.com/articles/2009/4/27/two-new-iphone-like-devices-coming-to-verizon-/). This rumor is coming from Business Week, making it more credible than your average rumor.

iPhone-lite?

I hope AT&T gets iPhone-Pro, or whatever the higher end model is.

This rumor hurts my head. Stop it.

Business Week?? No, I just can't put it all together this time...

Lite and Media Pad? Obviously not the shipping names, but really?

Verizon selling a product that makes WiFi calls?

If it weren't Business Week, it would have never been posted. But we're talking Business Week here..

I'm to lazy to search this out but as I recall did people not find version numbers for 3 or 4 different apple products in the latest firmware? Besides the 1,1 and 2,1. I would say these are the answers.

Ow. Ow. It hurts! I can't wait for June...

Eww Hips.

But I wonder how "lite" it would be? After all, Apple is the one saying they'll never have a netbook (aside from the MBA) because it was have to skimp on offerings.

This rumor is like the Chewbacca Defense (http://www.google.com/url?sa=U&start=1&q=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chewbacca_defense&ei=Zpr2SbbUDILhtgeJw-mqDw&usg=AFQjCNGp35Whac0f9BQsT7nMvg5lmavgOA).

If the lite model is going to be a phone, I'd bet it won't have WiFi. Verizon for some reason won't allow BBs to have WiFi.

Verizon loves to test its network.

I use the Chewbacca Defense at least monthly. People just get confused and give up.

I can't wait. Finally the best phone on the market without the crappiest service provider. The Verizon iPhone will be sooo much better then the current 3G one on AT&T.
