If you are a fan of clever ads, then this should be good news for you. I think when companies get into ad wars such as this, it really brings out the creativity. And I really enjoy a good, well thought out ad.&nbsp;</p>

Unfortunately it appears that AT&T is producing the retaliatory ads. The two I've seen* are not terribly exciting, nor clearly targetting Verizon. They should let Apple do the campaign. Their ad guys are expert at belittling the competition.

*1) Look at me throw post cards at all the places I have service.
2) Look I can talk and look up an address at the same time.
