there are tons of tethering apps on the market, they just don’t work because the way they try to connect doesn’t work on the network unless you have the feature on the account.

Verizon Wireless is a privately owned company. with equal shares owned by Verizon Communications and Vodafone.

i disagree as a person who frequently misplaces his wallet but seem to never lose my phone i want google wal;let ive lost my wallet before and had thousand dollars or so charged to one of my creditcards which are just as dangerous. this nfc really is no new thing exxonmobil has used it for years with there speedpass and i love my speedpass nothing is more convinent i have my exxoncards in formation on my key ring. anyways its not like someone can steal your information buy standing near you when you use google wallet. due to hardware level encryption and security

Just referring to the anti-competitive practices of Verizon. Verizon has proven over and over again that if you don’t regulate them (via lawsuits or government regulation) they will focus only on profits a the expense of customer choice.

I’ve seen my fair share of iPhone security issues pop up in recent months.

How can you sue a company for not offering a product?

How about… not buying from them…? Use another provider? It’s not that hard.

I would have gotten an iPhone if an LTE model had been released this year, and if they’d increased the screen size. A 3.5″ screen is just too small for me; also I’ve found LTE to be really useful – when my home cable internet went offline due to system problems, I was able to use my current LTE phone via Hotspot to work on my computer at around 10Mbps. I use Verizon, and I’m not leaving the network. So, next year…if the iPhone 5 is an LTE model, and features at least a 4″ screen, I may migrate to iOS.
Re malware – I’m not worried about malware per se on the Android platform; it looks like the major security risks are clueless users. I honestly doubt that any mobile OS is truly ‘safe.’ It’s just that as you increase the possibility of return on investment for criminals – ie, a nice new electronic wallet on a mobile OS, full of security holes left there either through sloppy Google coding, carrier manipulation and sloppy work, or manufacturer-introduced security flaws…that’s got to be seen as an invitation to the massive data-fraud criminal element worldwide. Just wait…it will happen.

Kudos to apple, they don’t allowed carriers to dictate to them on what they should and shouldn’t put in their phone. AT&T tried with the 4g logo on the iPhone 4s, and apple told them to go fu. Ck themselves. Google is a carrier’ puppet. Lol.
