    Verizon iPhone To Dual Boot Android, Rock 4G LTE

    Woow now!

    A year ago, Verizon was still considered one of those uptight carriers who gimped their devices. Now America’s largest carrier is helping LEAD the way to innovation, aggressively adopting Android and integrating Skype. But the fact that the Motorola Droid landed on Verizon as the first 2.0 phone with Google Navigation while practically every other device got stuck on 1.x – coincidence? Absolutely not.
    Verizon has bargaining power and they are some real tough mamma jammas. They turned down Apple to exclusively carry the iPhone and haven’t looked back. While rumors about a Verizon iPhone have cropped up every year for the past three, nothing has happened. You know why? Because Apple isn’t providing enough for Verizon Wireless. They want something special.
    Just look at what Verizon did with the Palm Pre. They played “wait and see” with the device, and when they finally launched it, demanded they get “Plus” versions of the phone. For those waiting for the Verizon iPhone… Verizon has been waiting too – for Apple to give them that special “Plus” on top. And now they will… reluctantly.

    Definitely April Fools. Apple would never agree to putting Android on their precious "App Store" phone.

    Yeah, that would piss anyone off. But forget about it, because the awesome outcome is that Verizon will be getting an iPhone that dual boots Android. Or not
    Didnt read the whole article did you?

    Just from the title alone I know it's an April Fools joke.

    I knew it had to be an April Fools joke before I even clicked but I couldn't resist the urge to take a look anyway I got a good laugh though, as if that would ever happen - yeah, right.
