Daily Tech: The Droid Invades the Nation!
AT&T Sues Verizon Over a TV Commercial
Who didn't see this coming? AT&T is suing Verizon over their recent ad campaign, playing on Apple's iPhone catchphrase "There's an app for that," and laying into AT&T's supposed lack of coverage. According to AT&T, the side-by-side view of maps showing each network's 3G coverage areas is confusing to consumers, leading them to believe that there are large parts of the country where AT&T doesn't provide service.

Get ready for another smartphone to take the world by storm — the BlackBerry Storm2 will be making its way to Verizon stores this Wednesday and will cost $180 on a two-year contract after a $100 mail-in rebate.

Verizon Announces New Android 2.0 Phone
Has the iPhone met its match? A new Android phone called Droid is on the way. It's a joint venture from Verizon, Motorola, and Google, and may be available by the end of the month.
Fun New "There's a Map For That" Verizon vs. AT&T Ad
Ha! Verizon is really getting cheeky. Not only has it copied Apple's "There's an App For That" ad campaign, but it's also gone head-to-head with AT&T saying that it has five times more 3G coverage in comparison to AT&T's spotty service.
Which Cell Carrier Do You Use?
Obviously, I use AT&T to power my iPhone. I'm not saying that it's the best network out there (hello, dropped calls!), but it's the one I prefer to stay at in order to enjoy the Apple smartphone. What network would I prefer to be on?
Are Your Parents Becoming More Tech Savvy?
Are the tides slowly changing? Whereas just months ago we were commiserating about being our parents' tech support (not to mention guffawing over cartoon dads asking computer questions), it seems now that more and more parents are joining social networks like Facebook. My mom recently asked me if she should start tweeting, and she's dying for an iPhone, intrigued that her phone could do more than just make calls.
Verizon Drops the BlackBerry Storm Down to $99
One thing I love about Verizon is the fact that they sure know how to throw the deals around to clear out inventory. And I'm certainly not complaining because their current sale is showing the BlackBerry Storm some love with their $99 sale.
Now I know some people have had some issues with this phone (like calls hanging up while you're on the phone and its lack of WiFi), but for 99 bucks it's at least an option if you've either never had a BlackBerry, or a smartphone for that matter.

The BlackBerry Tour (9630) — not to be confused with the Onyx which celebs are toting around — made a very silent launch on two major US carriers today. Unlike the Pre, which is exclusive to Sprint, the BlackBerry Tour has been announced on both Verizon and Sprint networks. The Tour will be coming to Sprint by the end of the Summer and will cost $199.99 on a two-year contract (after a $50 rebate and a $100 mail-in rebate .
