It works for Kraft Foods Inc., Oracle Corp. and Amylin Pharmaceuticals, according to one of the articles I linked in my other reply.

Apple has reached the saturation point of consumer adoption IN THE TINY 3G FOOTPRINT OF AT&T WIRELESS. Millions of potential iPhone customers are in the red zone of Verizon outside the tiny blue islands of ATT's 3G footprint. Noone except the very rabid fanboiz are going to buy an iPhone where there's only 2G as slow as molasses to run it on. Those customers are being lost, forever, as they are standing at the Verizon counters to snap up the smartphones Verizon offers. What's amazing is it doesn't seem to sink in for Apple investors blinded by The Light (and noise) coming from Cupertino. -- "iPad is to computing what Etch-A-Sketch is to art!" Larry

Don't you think that Apple has figured out that the money they're being paid by AT&T to not do a model for Verizon is more than they could make by doing a Verizon model. How many _additional_ customers would they get by doing an iPhone for Verizon (not ones that would switch to Verizon from AT&T).

You won't be able to deal with "nospam" in a logical and coherent way. He's one of those bizarre Apple zealots who see Apple (and Jobs) as a brand of religion (and deity) that needs defending against all criticism, no matter how well-founded that criticism is. -- Very old woody beets will never cook tender. -- Fannie Farmer |
