How do you frustrate the competition? Annouce your better mousetrap the day before they launch their new product.
Verizon did just that today, posting a teaser “coming soon” page and video for the newest Android phone the day before the already-leaked iPhone4 becomes available. Not only does this place the Droid in the consideration set for potential iPhone4 customers, but it ensures press coverage of the iPhone launch will include a mention of the Droid’s upcoming features (which includes a much larger screen than the iPhone).
