Timing is everything

Written By Jen Friel

I read Mashable religiously. (It's even my home page on Safari.) However yesterday, something left a nasty taste in my mouth. Yesterday Verizon released the highly-anticipated Droid phone, and coincidentally Mashable's Adam Ostrow released an article touting that Verizon may release the iPhone in the second half of 2010.


Could AT&T and Apple be dropping "rumors" to customers to impede the sales of the Droid? After all, if you're a die hard iPhone fan and a loyal Verizon user, wouldn't you want to maybe wait a few months to not have to pay full price for the device?

The article itself is not raising any red flags, as these whispers have been running rampant on the blogs since the iPhone's release. However, I always look at timing - and something doesn't feel right.

What do you think??
