The Verizon Hub is no more.
"Verizon Wireless today said that they are terminating the Verizon Hub, an innovative VOIP home phone that doubled as a Web tablet and digital photo frame… The Verizon Hub died from a terminal service plan and confused retail strategy involving an expensive $34.99 monthly fee and a perplexing requirement that owners also have a Verizon Wireless cell phone," writes Gearlog's Sascha Segan. "It is survived, only barely, by its first cousin the AT&T Home Manager."
"The good news is that current Hub owners should be good to go without disruption in service — for the time being, anyhow," notes Engadget's Chris Ziegler.
"I do think there's room on many of our kitchen counters for this sort of device," writes ZNF's Dave Zatz. "So I hope to see Verizon give it another go with a more robust platform and a better marketing/deployment strategy in the not-so-distant future."
