The technical specifications for Verizon Wireless' "Any Device, Any App" initiative will be released at a Verizon Conference for developers and manufacturers on March 19th, 2008. The specifications known simply as Version 1.0 will lay the groundwork for the technical necessesities needed for devices to be accepted into the program.

Anthony A. Lewis, vice president of the Open Development initiative has also stated that programmers and developers will help to refine the specifications which will hopefully lead to a streamlined process for the approval of devices allowed onto the network.

According to Verizon "For consumers, the network-only option, which is expected to be available later this year, will provide the option to use these wireless devices and new applications not offered directly by Verizon Wireless. Verizon Wireless’ Open Development initiative is driven by the company’s desire to encourage innovation, give customers new wireless choices, and quickly address opportunities to expand the wireless market."
