4G LTE iPhone In Carriers Hands?

Adding to the rumors of Apple iPhone 5, which might became an iPony under the now stronger Google Android, BGR seem to have recieved information on an iOS (iPony will have iOZ, pronounced I ooze) version that Apple’s carrier partners are using to test iPhone models with LTE capability.

The property list or PLIST indicates LTE device readiness. Perhaps Apple does not want to be left behind by all those Androids with 4G LTE capabilities. Still this does not guarantee that October release of iPhone 5 will have LTE capabilities. And when the 4G LTE iPhone does come out, I hope the battery life would be better than those pesky Droids with 4G capabilities.

No More Unlimited Data Plans From Verizon! , Tiered Pricing Coming This Summer.

Verizon Data Plans http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
I think most knew this was coming even though Verizon kept the unlimited data plans open to lure some AT&T customers over with initial iPhone offering. So the unlimited data plans will be replaced by more tiered pricing, perhaps based on speed (now that they got LTE) and usage. Verizon is also thinking of offering bucket of data family plans for families to share across phones and tablets.
"We had individual minutes for individual users. Then we eventually got to what we call family share where everyone in the family shares the same minutes, I think it's safe to assume that at some point you are going to have mega-plans (for data) and people are going to share that mega-plan based on the number of devices within their family. That's just a logical progression," Chief Financial Officer of Verizon, Fran Shammo, told Reuters  but failed provide a time frame for such mega-plans
What ever the case, Verizon does not look to making a client out of me, I have been looking for 4G, LTE carrier and simply based on pricing, it is not going to be Verizon, $10 a GB is not that attractive. And these indecisive packaging of data plans makes Verizon even less attractive. And if one to read the DSLReports forum comments, there might me a bunch of people leaving Verizon, when it snuffs unlimited data plans.
