Verizon has just announced the first ever data-share cell phone plans, meaning that end of the phone we predicted a couple weeks ago just got closer. After a prescient prediction from AT&T CEO Randall Stevenson that cell phone companies would soon enough offer data only plans, Verizon Wireless has put out the first iteration of these voice-light plans, reports AllThingsD's Ina Fried. "The plans, known as 'Share Everything,' allow users an unlimited number of calls and texts and also allow data usage to be pooled among up to 10 devices on one account," she writes. Don't let the unlimited voice offer fool you, this is step one to a voice-less world. And, as we explained the other day, without the audio part, we can't really call a phone a phone.
