Revenge: iPhone 5 release date has AT&T, Verizon, Sprint serve it cold

Revenge is a dish best served cold. And so as the four major carriers look to serve up the iPhone 5 as a treat to those who’ve been patiently waiting for its release date, they’re each preparing to take out the legs of their own customer base in their own special way. There’s Verizon, who’s prepared to tell you how often you can use your iPhone for basic tasks. Rival AT&T wants to do the same, but it’ll put your life into slow motion instead of charging you extra.

Google shipped Android 2.2 Froyo to its smartphone licensees last year just prior to iOS 4, following up with a 2.3 Gingerbread release in December that incorporated support for NFC tags, improved copy and paste, and the company's WebM video codec.
