It has recently occurred to me that the group of us here is in an astronomically huge minority where Verizon - and what they have planned - is concerned. Look where their focus is nowadays - they're steadily setting their sights on the younger generation. They're pushing the Palm line, the Devour, and now the Microsoft Pink line - all geared directly towards the social networking crowd, i.e. teenagers - with more devices to come. This is the
exact same approach that Sony took years ago - and look how successful they are now! They started off by getting their "My First Sony" walkman in the hands of teens, and now you have adults who will buy nothing but Sony. Same goes for Verizon at present - they will get the youth of today looking at Verizon's products (and service) in a positive light and they will never want to look any further. It's a
proven success story.
This all makes me wonder how hard Verizon really is working to satisfy us - the tech-savvy crowd - by releasing top-tier devices, such as our much-anticipated Incredible, on a consistent basis. Personally, I was floored at the insane speed and efficiency at which the Devour was first mentioned and then showed up for sale. It just goes to show that Verizon can do what they wish, at whatever pace they decide is most profitable for them. They honestly don't care about us and our impotent rage over not getting what we want. Sad, but true.
