Verizon roadmap includes the 1.3GHz DROID Pro

This article contains unofficial information.
Samsung and Motorola are each working on Android flavored tablets for Verizon. The former is expected to produce a model with a 7 inch screen with a front-facing camera. The latter is working on a tablet with a 10 inch screen, a 1 or 1.3GHz processor, a front-facing camera and Android 3.0. Originally a December launch, the Motorola tablet will have to wait for the OS to be ready which means that it will end up being released in February, 2011. According to the leak, the carrier will have 75% of the country covered by LTE by April 2012. Speaking of LTE, in January or February a MiFi device will be available from Novatel that will support 10 simultaneous Wi-Fi users. Verizon is expected to price LTE data cards at $59.99 per month, although it is unknown how much data you will allowed to grab at that price.
Android continues to be the word at Verizon and it appears to remain the focus even if a certain touchscreen phone becomes available to Big Red as we reported. For the carrier, they are keeping their eyes focused on what has been working best for them, which means another Red-eyed Motorola DROID model and more high-end Android offerings from other manufacturers.

Why are they allowed to post now? That's really annoying.

Doesn't mean that Verizon is going to be willing to pay Apple their fees just to carry the stupid thing. With the android phones Verizon really doesn't need the iPhone.

SPcamert: you are so right. But then again they are paying the price that RIM charges for the BLACKBERRY devices. I think they will if they truely want to be #1 in this area, of course in my opinion they already are ~ I've been with Verizon for over 8 years now & wouldn't have my cell service with anyone else.

Somebody pass me a drool cup. I was all ready to upgrade to D2, and now this happens. Maybe the Pro will launch on the anniversary of D1.

Honestly, I'm sick of VeriPhone rumors. Android is on track to become a better platform than iOS anyways, and once Verizon gets a device with a front facing camera (even though I think video calling is a novelty that will die within good time) no one will care about iPhone 4. I'm excited about the roadmap, Android all the way!
