The Wall Street Journal has published an article claiming that Verizon will announce the release of Apple’s iPhone on their network at an event Tuesday. In fact, Verizon has announced a special media event for Tuesday, January 11, 11 AM Eastern. This is a pretty strong claim to make by a respected news source. Add the fact that Verizon did schedule an event in a style reminiscent of Apple, and this seems to be very credible.
Now the questions are how much will Apple be involved in this event, including will Steve Jobs make an appearance, and when will the “vPhone” go on sale? Given the fact that Apple has instituted a vacation black-out for its employees, it seems likely that the phone will go on sale towards the end of the month. Like I said prior, this should be an interesting few weeks.
