We're talking intimate details of Verizon Wireless' plans for the rest of 2010, 2011 and even some 2012 plans. Android tablets, LTE MiFi units, Android 3.0, video conferencing, and a whole lot more."</em></p><p>The Boy Genius Report have gotten their hands on Verizon's roadmap for the next year and a half. Lots of exciting stuff...unless you're waiting on Windows Phone 7. Android's the order of the day, and I suspect there's more than a little of Verizon getting their own back against Microsoft for the <a href="http://windowsphonethoughts.com/news/show/98775/mini-microsoft-weighs-in-on-the-death-of-kin.html" target="_blank">KIN debacle</a>.</p>

Just note that there is no mention of the Blackberry either. Symbian and WebOS are also missing. I don't think that means VZ is going Android exclusively.

and I suspect there's more than a little of Verizon getting their own back against Microsoft for the KIN debacle (http://windowsphonethoughts.com/news/show/98775/mini-microsoft-weighs-in-on-the-death-of-kin.html).



Perhaps, but what is very clear is that none of us out here really know what did and did not happen between Verizon and Microsoft concerning the Kin. Someday it may all come out from someone who actually is in the position to know, but that has not happened yet. And, in the meantime, I am still using mine, though perhaps I should put it back in its packaging for sale to some collector on eBay someday.
