With iPad 2 Set for March 11th Launch, Don’t Expect the HTC Thunderbolt this Week [Captain Obvious]
February 14th, February 24th, March 3rd, March 4th, and March 10th. What do all of these dates have in common? At one point or another, they were rumored as the release date for the HTC Thunderbolt for Verizon. Four out of five of the dates listed have come and gone with no 4G LTE handset to be seen. You can scratch the fifth off the list as well, for obvious reasons. What obvious reasons? The release of the iPad 2 slated for March 11th. Would Verizon really release both Apple’s newest tablet and their first 4G LTE handset on back to back days? Not impossible, but extremely unlikely.
If the logic of the whole thing is a bit too hard to grasp, perhaps this leaked graphic obtained by DroidLife will make things easier to comprehend. The iPad 2 clearly comes before the Thunderbolt. So go ahead and close your eyes and point to some other day on the calendar. Whatever day you land on is about just as good a guess as any for when we will see the Thunderbolt.
