The latest Verizon attack ad on the iPhone takes a new tact… rather than attack the iPhone it actually well… it actually puts out the welcome mat.
In it the Island of Misfit Toys welcomes its newest resident… the iPhone.
“Hey check out the new guy” says one misfit toy. “What are you doing here? You can download apps and browse the web.” Says another. “People will love you!” A third says!
Then things go south… a map of AT&T’s coverage pops up and everyone moans.
So let’s think about it for a second… praise for the iPhone (“everyone will love you!) but disdain for AT&T.
Kinda sounds like Verizon is putting out the welcome mat doesn’t it?
Having a father who was heavily involved in early laser and fiber-optical research, Dan grew up surrounded by technology and gadgets. Dan’s father brought home one of the very first video games when he was young and Dan remembers seeing a “pre-release” touchtone phone. (When he asked his father what the “#” and “*” buttons were his dad said, “Some day, far in the future, we’ll have some use for them.”)
Technology seemed to be in Dan’s blood but at some point he took a different path and ended up in the clergy. His passion for technology and gadgets never left him. +Dan Cohen
I hope iPhone comes to Verizon if Apple creates the requisite new device to work on Verizon’s better network. I’m betting we have years of waiting. Here’s to hoping Verizon doesn’t create overpriced contract plans like AT&T did.
