I know that I just pointed out the obvious when I made the predictions in my last blog, but it is cool to see some of this stuff happen.

Here are a series of articles pertaining to Verizon Wireless network, Google Android, and the 700MHz Spectrum auction.

There is another article somewhere, maybe one of the above that says that Google has a working version of Android on a 700MHz broadband device. I know a lot of people (at least in the tech boards that I read) think that Verizon is a horrible company and that this is just one of their evil ploys. I guess I have had so much trouble with AT&T and Comcast that I don't think as badly of Verizon. I am really glad that they did this. AT&T cannot continue their exclusivity deal with Apple. I hope that Verizon learns that they can get a lot more customers by being open, but in the end it is a business and that's a hard road to walk.

Well, that is about all for this post. Noelle and I are going on a cruise in a week for our 5th Anniversary. It is unreal to think that we are going on the cruise and that we have been married for 5 years. As I tell Noelle, I hope God gives us 50 more years of marriage.
