Verizon can't make up her mind these days. Yesterday I saw an article suggesting that Verizon might offer the iPhone. Earlier today I saw a different article suggesting Verizon is looking for Android developers. Finally, I just saw article that Verizon and Microsoft have partnered on a new iPhone killer. My only conclusion is that platforms aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. Verizon could offer all three: iPhone, Android and Microsoft. Of course this isn't that unusual, for example, T-Mobile sells both the iPhone and Android in Europe.
