Thing is, that's a Verizon Broadband device, not a Verizon Wireless one... our source tells us that Hub is designed to compete on some level with HotSpot@Home, which this unit (at least in this incarnation) doesn't appear to do. We'll make a note of it in the post and keep a close eye on the situation.<br><br>Chris]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris Ziegler]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 30th 2008 11:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon Hub headlines carrier's 2008 initiatives, devices]]></title><link>http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2008/03/30/verizon-hub-headlines-carriers-2008-initiatives-devices/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2008/03/30/verizon-hub-headlines-carriers-2008-initiatives-devices/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hey Chris,<br><br>     The context that VZW is using the word HUB implies that they are rolling multi services such as VZNavigator, Text messaging, Pix messaging, Calenders and Voice all into a central unit or HUB as it were.  You will be able to use it with VZW service or you can bring your own access with your existing service provider.  Think Vonage VoIP units.  The unit will have a nice large touch display.  It will cost $249.99 on a 1yr contact and then if you sign up for 2yrs it will have $50.00 mail in rebate. Yes before everyone ask yes I work for VZW and I was bored the other day and found all this out. <br><br><br>Have fun with it.<br><br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[PG]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 31st 2008 1:07AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon Hub headlines carrier's 2008 initiatives, devices]]></title><link>http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2008/03/30/verizon-hub-headlines-carriers-2008-initiatives-devices/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2008/03/30/verizon-hub-headlines-carriers-2008-initiatives-devices/</guid><description><![CDATA[Centro!

A friend and I started working on developing something similar to the HUB last year.  We went to purchase some prototype parts and came across the Verizon HUB web page you link above.  They had a date of Feb 2008, so we junked the idea.  <br><br>Here we are in early May and still nothing ... sad Verizon sad ... teaches me though to listen to websites.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sushil]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 3rd 2008 5:14PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
