Steve Jobs on Google

We did not enter the search business. They entered the phone business. Make no mistake; they want to kill the iPhone. We won't let them.

And the gloves are off.

The 200 Dollar Droid is Aging Well

One of the biggest complaints about the iPhone is that the battery is part of the phone. You can't carry an extra and change it out when needed.

Well, for 200 bucks you can buy a Droid and not only can you change the battery but you'll be able to use a hip Verizon sticker to keep it from falling out.

AT&T vs. Verizon

I was a loyal Verizon customer before moving to the iPhone in late 2007. I frequently travel to the fringes of cellular reception areas, including many areas with zero coverage from any carrier. I’ve found:

AT&T isn’t as bad as many people think.

Verizon isn’t as good as many people think.

Read any critique of AT&T's network and you can be forgiven if you forget the U.S. is comprised of anything between New York and San Francisco.

I never leave 3G coverage, and dropped calls have been a rarity. When I switched to AT&T and the iPhone 6 months ago I was shocked when I had service at my house. For 4 years my Verizon cell phone was completely useless in my home. Complaints got me nowhere and I was told by Verizon that I lived in a dead zone that would be a problem for any carrier.

Except AT&T.

Of course, I live don't live in a thriving metropolis, but I do have an iPhone I depend on and real money is being paid to use it.

That's not to say AT&T (and as a result, the iPhone) doesn't have a problem. Large markets equal more users and as a result more attention to problems. Still, every time I hear blanket statements regarding AT&T's spotty coverage I remember what a great paperweight my Verizon phone made.
