Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
Good point, in fact this announcement coincides perfectly with their inevitable bid for the 700Mhz spectrum. Originally they fought, and the CTIA is still fighting, the "any device, any app" provision, but it was injected into the terms anyways. Then they hoped the auction would not meet the FCC minimum of $15bn and tried to call Google's bluff, but realized Google was not bluffing. So now the facts are that the "any device, any app" provision is in the terms and will stay there given that the auction will definitely go over $15bn with Google in the game. Given that, Verizon has no choice to play along if they even want a chance at snagging the spectrum.
Of course, as was mention in this and a previous engadget article, the devil is in the details. Given that the "any device, any app" provision applies only if said device/app does not interfere with the network, ie. meets the carrier's standards, the winning bidding still holds a lot of power as they can still block any device or app simply under the guise of its use causing network problems.
