Wrong word. You are looking for "iPad."
Again, this device comes out on Friday, and to make sure people lock into VZW's iPad data plan over AT&T's, they will push hard and make it known that the VZW iPad can do various things more reliably than can AT&T's.
Simply put, VZW won't have the money or time to manage two heavy ad campaigns at the same time. They'll let the iPad 2 stuff die down before marketing and launching the T-Bolt.
Think about it another way: let's say there are 4 million people who want the T-Bolt and 2 million who want the iPad 2 from VZW. You COULD release both devices in the same time frame, resulting in stores open 24/7 for a few weeks, insanely long waiting times, and employees working triple-shifts. Then, once all the hype dies down and no new stuff gets release for four weeks or so, you have employees having trouble making enough commission because there simply aren't enough customers.
On the other hand, if you space out these two major launches reasonably, you can have a greater net impact on sales and make a more consistent profit. My hope is that since the iPad 2 is just a sequel it won't get a major launch campaign like the original did last year, allowing the T-Bolt to be released mid-next week. Until we hear otherwise from Verizon, however, chances are they may push back the T-Bolt one more week to ensure they rake in as much profit from the iPad 2 launch.
