Recall those Verizon claims yesterday[7th], and the carrier’s previous dismissal of anticipated move to carry iPhone on its network, saying this wouldn’t happen until it launches its 4G LTE network? Well, good news rouind the water fountain — Verizon will launch its 4G LTE network in 38 major metropolitan cities by the end of the year.
Which pretty much explains it.
Lowell McAdam, president and chief operating officer of Verizon, detailed the company’s major network launch in 38 major metropolitan areas, covering more than 110 million Americans, by the end of the year. In addition, the company is launching 4G LTE in more than 60 commercial airports coast to coast – both the airports within the launch areas plus airports in other key cities.
Details from the press release (which makes no mention of the iPhone, but it all makes sense, right? Right?)
McAdam said, “We are driven by the vision to provide ubiquitous wireless broadband connectivity and mobility to rural and urban Americans alike. With our initial 4G LTE launch, we will immediately reach more than one-third of all Americans where they live, right from the start. And, we will quickly introduce 4G LTE throughout the Verizon coverage area.” Verizon Wireless expects 4G LTE average data rates to be 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2 to 5 Mbps on the uplink. Metropolitan areas for the initial launch, which include: * Large sections of the Northeast Corridor, including Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. as well as Rochester, New York
* Throughout Miami and south Florida, Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and New Orleans as well as Charlotte, North Carolina and Nashville, Tennessee
* Chicagoland, St. Louis, the Twin Cities, Pittsburgh and major cities in Ohio
* Major population centers in California as well as Seattle, Phoenix, Denver and Las Vegas.
Looks like Android may have a new battle on its hands as all those non-AT&T wannabe iPhone users can now look forward to their chance. We wonder if this will be part of Verizon’s CES keynote speech in early January?Recall those Verizon claims yesterday[7th], and the carrier’s previous dismissal... more

Some interesting patents out of Apple HQ have been surfacing lately including 3D user-interfaces and touch-screen iMacs, and today a patent for iOS devices with MagSafe connectors has surfaced.
The patent originally brought to light by Patently Apple takes the technology from MagSafe connectors for Apple notebooks and brings it to iOS products like the iPad and iPhone. That will be helpful when Apple gets around to wireless synching of iOS devices and doesn’t need USB anymore.Some interesting patents out of Apple HQ have been surfacing lately including 3D... more

Let's face it, the iPhone is cool. Sure, you could have a fully functional, fast, reliable and open phone by going with Android, but what good is that if you're not cool, right? We've heard about the iPhone 4's reception issues since launch, even the mainstream media like MSNBC is reporting on them, but there's one thing no one seems to realize amidst all these problems; an excuse.
