It’s almost over for AT&T’s monopoly over all things “i” – we told you so but maybe you’d rather hear it from the New York Times:
Apple said Thursday that Verizon Wireless would begin selling the iPad at its stores on Oct. 28. The announcement is the latest sign that the relationship between Apple and Verizon is warming up. Verizon is expected to begin selling Apple’s iPhone early next year.
Verizon will not be selling 3G versions of the iPad, which work over a cellular data network. Instead it will sell bundles that include the iPad’s Wi-Fi models and its own MiFi mobile hot spot device, which essentially allows users to connect to the Internet in any place that has 3G service. The bundles will cost $630 for a 16-gigabyte model, $730 for a 32-gigabyte model and $830 for 64 gigabytes. Verizon will offer a monthly $20 access plan to iPad customers for up to 1 gigabyte of data. In addition, Verizon will offer all three iPad models on a standalone basis.

Verion Wireless? AHAHAHAHa FAIL For life files lols

thank you ;]
Wooo-freakin-Hooo! It’s about damn time Verizon, I was starting to lose faith!! So tired of my Blackberry, iPhone here I come!
Its not what u think…you need a Mi-Fi device with you @ all times just to use the 3G on Verizon. Dont get to excited yet lol AT&T is still winning until Verizon goes LTE(4G)…. Shit we wont see a iPhone on VZW until we see a dual CDMA/GSM chip
I know what I’m asking Santa for this year. On a side note, according to The Situation Santa doesn’t exist =(
Why can’t apple just sell the iPad / iPhone on all carriers, so they can reach more people and gain more revenue…. Would make more sense.
