Verizon Wireless and Google are now officially partners, and promise that Android phones will be introduced within a few weeks.
Verizon Wireless and Google today announced a strategic partnership that will leverage the Verizon Wireless network and the best of the Android open platform to deliver mobile applications, services and devices. Integral to this agreement is a commitment by the companies to devote substantial resources to accelerate delivery of innovation that will put unique applications in the hands of consumers quickly.
The two companies will create, market and distribute products and services, with Verizon Wireless also contributing the breadth of its nationwide distribution channels. Consumers will be able to purchase products resulting from the collaboration in Verizon Wireless retail and online stores.
Verizon Wireless and Google plan to co-develop several Android-based devices that will be pre-loaded with applications from both parties as well as third-party developers. The family of Android phones on the Verizon Wireless network will come from leading handset manufacturers.
The agreement will come to fruition within the next few weeks as Verizon Wireless introduces Android-based handsets.
