Why ask someone else if they've personally used those tools when you
haven't used them yourself? Hint: top management and consultants
aren't sitting down to use design tools, assuming those claims are
true.

Nor is a consultant who was doing keyword searches for misspellings in
a copyright theft lawsuit.

Your guess is incorrect. I'm both qualified and experienced in those
tools.

While a Verizon iPhone can't be _sold_ prior to the expiration of the
end of exclusivity (which is widely believed to be in 2011), it could
certainly be advertised (which is pointed out in that article).

The meteoric rise in sales of Android phones on other carriers is no
doubt of great concern to Apple, and they will not wait any longer than
absolutely necessary to launch iPhones on other carriers (especially
Verizon since and AT&T/Verizon Duopoly is emerging in wireless as most
growth in sales is on AT&T and Verizon).

Will Verizon's data network crumble under the crush of iPhone data like
AT&T's did?
