Will the iPhone for Verizon be announced today? Let's find out!
10:55 John Oliver, from the Daily Show, is there apparently.
11:00 LOL: "Okay, it looks like you're expecting a big announcement. I don't think we'll disappoint. If the press write something long enough, eventually it comes true. We're very very excited about our announcement today."
11:03 Corporate speak. Corporate speak. *Yawn*
11:08 LTE, 3G CDMA blah blah... "Two innovators coming together"
11:08 Been working on a CDMA iPhone since 2008.
11:09 Tim Cook comes out!
11:10 More specifically, Verizon's iPhone will be coming out in February
11:13 "We've built our business on building the very best network -- and now our customers have a choice for the iPhone 4 on the nation's most reliable network."
11:14 Verizon talking about how robust their network is... Do I still have to do this? The yawns are coming in more often.
11:18 $199 for the 16GB, $299 for 32GB -- mobile hotspot included - Up to 5 devices.
11:19 That last bit woke me up.
11:20 Now - Q&A. Have they forgotten that they're working with Apple? No Q&A's at Apple events! Gosh!
11:21 "Q: Will it be on a one year refresh cycle?
Tim: We don't comment on that.
Q: Can you address how many you'll manufacture in the 1st year?
Tim: I'm not going to get into our forecast. I think it's fair to say that both of us think there's tremendous opportunity.
Dan: I don't have anything to add to that."
What else is new?
11:25 Multi-year non-exclusive deal
11:26 Someone should ask about simultaneous voice and data.
11:26 And someone did. Same as any other CDMA device.
11:30 Nothing else new. Tim Cook says "I think people place different emphasis on things -- I can tell you that the number one question I've gotten is when will the iPhone work on Verizon. I couldn't be happier to tell people that. They will make those sorts of tradeoffs."
11:31 VZ Navigator and Vcast. Ugh.
11:33 Yawn
