Verizon and AT&T May Both Get Apple Tablet


NerdBoyTV NOTE: Oh I DEFINITELY want one of THESE!!! And I have Verizon, too! Yay!

Verizon and AT&T May Both Get Apple Tablet - Yahoo! News: "Apple is in talks to bring its rumored tablet device to the 3G networks of both Verizon and AT&T, according to reports. Since Verizon uses the wireless network standard called CDMA, and AT&T uses the GSM standard, Apple may have to produce two different versions of the device, according to a report at Fox News. Then again, a 'world edition' device that runs on both network types may not be out of the question--assuming Apple's new product will have cellular connectivity at all.

A third option may be Apple may not have a carrier deal lined up for its product launch next Wednesday. This might mean Apple may not be able to announce pricing of a tablet at the event.

This latest rumor also suggests Apple is confident that public demand for its rumored tablet will be high enough to warrant releasing the device on two different networks. Meanwhile the research firm Retrevo has some interesting insight into how much consumers will pay for a tablet and what they want and don't want from Apple in terms of connectivity."
