Originally I thought the same thing, that this negative ad campaign would damage any future relationship the two companies would have. But look at any other type of competition out there, and you'll see that time and money heal all wounds.

Politics is the biggest example; candidates will trash each other incessantly in the primary elections, only to partner up later in the campaign to defeat a common enemy.

For instance, AT&T is currently getting all up in Google's business about net neutrality, yet AT&T is still heavily rumored to be bringing a Android phone to market in the very near future. How can this be? It's all about the almighty dollar.

Right now it's in Verizon's best interest to promote their new products by trashing the competition. Is Apple really going to take it personally? I doubt it. It's business.

The iPhone is the behemoth of consumer electronics, and every competition out there is looking for ways to shoot it down off the pedestal it currently is perched on.

Bottom line is $$$$. The i-phone will be sold over all carriers because profits will increase over 40-50%. Apple was stupid for making it exclusive to one carrier.

No, Verizon was stupid for passing on the iPhone as they were offered the device first. As they say, hindsight is 20/20.
