CES Watch: Verizon's 4G Phones
According to a story in Monday's Wall Street Journal, This week at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Verizon Wireless is expected this week to showcase the first "flight" of 4G phones from their main manufacturing partners (Samsung, Motorola, HTC and LG Electronics) all powered by Google Android.
In December, Verizon said in a Twitter message that Android and its new 4G service are like "peanut butter and chocolate." The new fourth-generation wireless technology promises super-fast broadband service, aiming to make it easier to watch mobile video, among other things.
These phones have been highly anticipated. Analyst, Roger Entner was quoted saying that people are waiting for 4G phones not dongles.
Some are waiting for HP-Palm's new devices, but all indications are that won't happen this week in Vegas.
