iPhone on Sprint? Let the rumors begin!

An interesting tidbit from today's Verizon iPhone announcement, at a Q&A after the announcement, Apple  COO Tim Cook was asked if the CDMA version of the iPhone was exclusive to Verizon, to which he stated it was a multi-year deal with Verizon, but it was not exclusive. This means Apple could easily bring the iPhone to Sprint. Right? We'll see, since Apple hasn't exactly made the GSM version available on
T-Mobile, but now that it's clear AT&T's exclusivity agreement is over, anything's possible. Could our dream of the iPhone on every major carrier finally come true? Finger's crossed.

Verizon iPhone; Rumor no more

We're kind of running out of big Apple rumors to debate about. First Apple released the long-rumored iPad last year, now this. After literally years of rumormongering, Verizon today announced they are getting the iPhone 4 on their network. Existing Verizon customers will be able to pre-order on February 3, and everyone can order starting February 10. The pricing will be the same as AT&T, with the 16GB at $199 and 32GB at $299 with a new 2-year contract. An extra bonus for Verizon customers will be the included mobile hotspot that can support up to 5 devices.

Now that that's out of the way, how about bringing the iPhone to T-Mobile, eh?

Verizon gets official with HTC Thunderbolt

Verizon's really come out swinging with all the LTE handests it's introduced, and one that really stands out is the HTC Thunderbolt. It's got a 4.3 inch WVGA screen, 8MP camera and front-facing camera with Skype integrated, DLNA support and a 1 GHZ Snapdragon processor. Oh yeah, did we mention that it's LTE capable? If you were worried Verizon wouldn't have many options for LTE handsets anytime soon, worry no more my friend.

iPad gets competitor in Motorola Xoom

So far the iPad has pretty much laughed at previous tablet "competitors," but with the Xoom Motorola has positioned itself as a serious player in the tablet game. Featuring Honeycomb, the newest version of Android specifically made for tablets, the Xoom will makes previous attempts at Android tablets look pretty silly. 

The Xoom features a 1 GHz Tegra 2 dual-core processor, a 10.1 inch screen, 5 MP rear camera with flash, a front-facing 2 MP camera, Adobe Flash, and 32 GB internal storage, and will work on Verizon's 3G and LTE network.

It's clear that Motorola is going after the iPad with the Xoom, and just like Android on phones, we'll probably see a ton of Honeycomb tablets on a variety of carriers soon. Not to be outdone however, Apple is expected to unveil the iPad 2 very soon, which could still blow Honeycomb out of the water. We'll see, but we sure are excited about having a variety of tablets that are actually good.
