You’ve heard it before and  you will likely hear it again as the iPhone 4g release approaches; rumors involving Verizon and the iPhone are circulating yet again. According to a CrunchGear article, an advertising company called Landor Associates is working on Verizon’s campaign for the new iPhone. This is according to a tip received by CrunchGear. Of course the implications of this news spice up the AT&T, Verizon, iPhone saga. The iPhone may be carrying a Verizon symbol by as early as the end of this Summer. We’ll keep you posted as more information comes in. Maybe we will send a friendly e-mail over to Landor…

Luke Wilson vs. Big Red. iPhone vs. Blackberry.  These enemies are no more.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple is noted to be producing an iPhone for Verizon.  Supposedly, “the new iPhones is being manufactured by Taiwanese contract manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., which produced Apple’s previous iPhones. The model that has CDMA capability, used by Verizon Wireless, is being manufactured by Pegatron Technology Corp., the contract manufacturing subsidiary of Taiwan’s ASUSTeK Computer Inc., said these people” [via Wall Street Journal]. Apple, Pegatron, Hon Hai and Verizon have not commented on this potential product.  While all of these companies are pleading the 5th, Apple will yield the greatest results as they will be benefiting from both AT&T and Verizon users.

I know plenty of iPhone users who are frustrated with AT&T services and now they will be able to continue to enjoy their user interface and apps on their iPhone with Verizon.  So maybe Apple isn’t causing incest breeding between these two providers, but Steve Jobs is dipping into two honey pots.
