As I’m tracking a variety of media channels at the same time as the Apple [AAPL] iPad announcement, I find it curious as to how the human condition, and certainly all of these so-called tech pundits, keeps wanting to compare new tech with old tech.

Rumors have abounded about tomorrow’s Apple [AAPL] product announcement. Although the invitations for the event seem to be fairly music-related (hint: iPod, iPod touch, and iPhone product lines), there are still some questions as to what kinds of new features and upgrades will be revealed for the iPod family.

For those of you who are old enough to remember the monumental three-way product/platform wars between a variety of different players, as well as the various face-offs between heated contenders, you can often slot the threesters into that ol’ Good-Bad-Ugly trifecta.
Perhaps not this time, however.

Natali del Conte (you remember her, right?) has mentioned in today’s Loaded episode that Verizon [VZ] is preparing to receive Palm [PALM] Pre devices on their network, sometime in 2010.
