Does anyone else get bored with all the hype? Being forced to watch 30 second infomercials for the Samsung Instinct on NBC.com, in-between episodes of 30 rock, is practically trivial on the basis that the likely hood of an “iPhone Killer” or comparable is far from being created.

A year ago, Verizon claimed to have an iPhone killer in the works with their bland LG Voyager “Yawn” touchscreen bust; it quickly faded. Even with the LG Prada KE “Nerd” 850 project, Verizon is far from closing the gap.

(I bet every failed “iPhone killer” must make that wound of being Apple’s first choice as an iPhone distributor sting a little more. Don’t beat yourself up Verizon, Apple will most likely hunger to have their iPhone take on the Blackberry on all carriers, sooner rather than later.)
