About iPhone fake fragmentation

It’s already a news that not all the apps in AppStore are compatible with iPhone for Verizon.

TechCrunch digs a bit and finds out the complaint is originated by “AT&T Navigator” app that refuses to run on Verizon iPhone. The cause is this app’s traffic being actually billed by AT&T on a “per MSISD” base, therefore using the app on any other carrier is impossible. You can say it’s a chipset issue, because the app tries to authenticate thru the GSM SIM number, but I’d say “the reports of [a chipset issue] have been greatly exaggerated”…

Google zealots…
