Fortune Confirms Verizon iPhone

http://gigaom.com/apple/fortune-confirms-verizon-iphone/

In case you had any lingering doubts, banish them. Yet another major news outlet has confirmed that a Verizon (s vz) iPhone (s aapl) is in fact a certainty. Joining the New York Times (s nyt) and the Wall Street Journal is Fortune. Fortune also pegs the date at early 2011, so the release window also seems to be a lock.

Apple delays white iPhone 4 into spring 2011

http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/26/apple-delays-white-iphone-4-into-spring-2011/

Let's just be honest, Apple: white stuff is impossible to manufacture. In fact, scientists have yet to prove that white even exists, so we're not sure why you're bothering to try to make a phone out of it! That's right: after a missed availability date in July and another delay after that, Cupertino has once again pushed back the manufacture of the palest iPhone 4 -- this time clear into spring of 2011. It won't say why, but in all likelihood, they're still dealing with the same manufacturing woes they've had from the start. By the time mid-2011 rolls around, it seems probable that the release

Windows Phone 7 from an iPhone user's perspective

http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2010/10/winphone-from-an-iphone-users-perspective.ars

Like many of the other staff at Ars, I've gone through a couple iterations of iOS, and watched it mature into a more functional, more usable product. In the last few months, I've also gotten the chance to play with what are essentially 1.0 versions of smartphone operating systems, Windows Phone 7 and the newest Blackberry OS, both of which are intended to be touchscreen-ready and radical departures from their predecessors. Having sampled both, I think it's fair to say that Microsoft did a fantastic job compared to RIM, but it still has its work cut out for it, and may need

The Truth: Why iPhone Users Will Ditch AT&T and Run to Verizon

http://techcrunch.com/2010/10/25/iphone-ditch-att-verizon/

Last week we saw the carriers’ growth numbers for Q3 2010, and AT&T completely blew away Verizon with new subscribers. Despite mass availability of Android phones, Verizon only added 1 million subscribers in Q3, its lowest total in years. AT&T added 2.6 million.

It’s now completely clear why Verizon has finally capitulated and cozied up with Apple—even with tons of Android models, Verizon simply can’t compete with AT&T in terms of new subscriber growth.

Right now the question du jour among iPhone aficionados is how many net subscribers will leave AT&T and switch to Verizon once the iPhone becomes a reality in January 2011. That number is going to be a lot larger than people think for a series of compounding reasons.

In a world of Angry Birds and Foursquare, I'm not sure how AT&T came up with this one.

This week, AT&T unleashed the Eco-App, a youth-centric iPhone app that tries to promote sustainability through education.

As explained on AT&T's website, the Eco-App has two top features: a tool to help teens find nearby recycling centers and educational resources to help teens comprehend the
