When the Verizon iPhone was announced, the world assumed that AT&T iPhone subscribers would be departing and defecting en masse. It turns out that’s not the case, and the numbers of defectors doesn’t surprise AT&T, says a high-level rep. Quite frankly, I’m not surprised, either.

Back in 1991, there was a video game called Another World (or Out of This World as it was known when it was released in the US) that revolutionized the gaming industry with its cinematic effects, graphics, and cut scenes. At the time, games have yet to reach a maturity that Another World did as…

Analysts are estimating that Verizon sold 1 million iPhone 4 units on its opening weekend, following up on commetary Verizon’s CEO saying that it had set records (though he didn’t disclose numbers).
