After 17 rousing days and the sight of Canadians throughout the Great White North celebrating Sunday's Gold Medal hockey victory and the country's record medal haul, all good things moose-t come to an end.

Is an iPhone an acceptable device for business users? Verizon Wireless and AT&T have been involved in a public multimillion-dollar spat over the question with dueling television advertising campaigns -- and a lawsuit to boot. Now Apple is stepping into the fray with its own ads.

Verizon started running ads last month claiming that AT&T's 3G network is inferior. "If you want to know why your 3G coverage works so well on Verizon Wireless, there's a map for that," Verizon's ad said, riffing on Apple's "there's an app for that" tagline.
