Blog Focus is Technorati's daily roundup of the top stories as told by the bloggers of the world. Each day a handful of posts, no matter how popular or nascent, will be selected by editors to portray a general unscientific reaction to discussion points around the 'Net. 


Dear Apple,

We wrote you a video letter and showed it to everyone during the baseball playoffs last weekend.  In case you were too busy watching the home dugout camera on your iPhone, we included it here.

 

See you in the marketplace soon.  Kisses!

Love,
Verizon

P.S. It's on like Michael Moore's thong.

(So what's everyone saying about Verizon's new Android phone and their shot across Apple's bow?  Read on if your stomach has recovered from that Michael Moore image.)

The Apple Blog - Charles Jade isn't impressed by the ad, asking, "That's it?"

Android Central - On the other hand, Casey Chan finds "iDon't" "catchy as heck".

Bits - The New York Times' Brad Stone believes this could be the end of negotiations between Apple and Verizon for the iPhone to come to Verizon.  Phone warfare?  There's now a map for that.

Boy Genius Report - The Boy Genius himself has reviewed the Motorola Droid that Verizon is tossing against the iPhone tide and finds it "amazing", noting that it's the first Android device to not feel like it's being run by a Molasses chip.
