And to think we were all pretty stoked about the Apple iPhone finally coming to the biggest and most reliable wireless company in the U.S. Now here comes Verizon with an anti-iPhone ad (”everything iDon’t Droid Does”) that may just mean good-bye to a Verizon iPhone in 2010. It’s not just business when you’re taking a swipe against an Apple product. With the ad, Verizon also launched a possible product tagline or even a fullblown brand name: DroidDoes [site], which means of course that Verizon will put a lot of support behind the Google Android in future phone models.
So will Verizon go head to head with the Apple iPhone. Will iPhone continue its exclusivity with AT&T? Is Verizon insane making war with Steve Jobs?

Haha you gotta love the sucker punch by verizon. Im pretty sure the google / apple relationship is not going to get any better. Apple reportedly denied google with the google voice app which im pretty sure made them pretty mad. This isnt the last time the two big companies will get in the ring together. Haha gotta love the competition.
