Microsoft Denies Phone, Verizon Confirms Talks with Apple
by Wyatt WalterThe rumor mill has been turning with rumors that Apple was in talks with Verizon to offer a phone much like the iPhone and that Microsoft was working on a phone of their own. Microsoft has formally denied that it is making hardware for a phone, but will continue work on its mobile OS for other hardware manufacturers.
On the other hand, Verizon has confirmed talks with Apple over new devices that could be offered by Apple on Verizon’s network. The devices won’t be the iPhone since Apple is under contract to remain exclusive with those devices to AT&T. The rumored devices are a much smaller phone as well as a mobile touchscreen tablet-like device. If the device is real, it will be slightly smaller than a netbook and appears to run a full-fledged version of OS X Leopard. The deal is expected to pass or fail by late this summer.
