0January 7, 2011
The folks over at BGR are reporting that both Apple and verizon are all set to announce a CDMA version of the iPhone 4 on February 3rd.
They cited factors such as the blacked out employee vacation requests between the dates of February 3rd and February 6th, along with the trend of the Verizon announcements on Thursdays to conclude that it is indeed going to be February 3rd – the day that we will all finally get to see AT&T lose its iPhone exclusivity to Verizon in the US.
Back in June of last year, Apple picked the dates of 24th to the 27th for its iPhone 4 weekend launch — also a Thursday More >

During the Keynote speech from Verizon’s CEO Ivan Seidenberg everyone was on the edge of their seat waiting for the news that everyone expected to hear, but that news never came. We were all left shocked with our jaws on the floor when the keynote address ended and there had not been a single mention of the CDMA iPhone for Verizon‘s network. As for now we’re left clinging to the hope that maybe such a large announcement would be made by Steve Jobs at an Apple event rather than at CES 2011, hopefully. When do you think Verizon will stop teasing us and announce their plans for an iPhone on More >

With CES 2011 upon us tomorrow it’s intriguing to have a company make announcement that has nothing to do with CES. HP is stating that there is a special announcement that’s going to be made on February 9th. As for details regarding what the announcement will be covering or what makes it “special” are not known and the only thing we know is that we need to “Think Big, Think Small, Think Beyond”. This is leading to us to believe that there will be more than one product announced on the 9th. It’s possible that “Think Big” refers to a webOS-powered tablet, while “Think Small” could easily mean More >
