lol. Using a netbook would be so much easier AND affordable. This thing can't make calls so its strictly data usage. Can u say EXPENSIVE! Sales of this device won't be high like the iphone's but on an individual basis. I can't see alot of people walking around with this. Good luck Verizon

Really? Even if it comes on Verizon with an implied $60/month unlimited data pricetag? Too rich for me.

...I dunno...I have never really been a fan of tablets. Mostly because I look at the iPhone and just think about how much it would suck if I dropped it. The last thing I need is a 10" version of it.

First off EV-DO is CDMA's version of 3G and that's the only type of support a tablet would need besides WI-FI. Secondly I seriously doubt this beautiful peace of work ( even though I'm not going to buy it ) would ever grace Verizon's network especially when they acted like such childs and were crying that the iPhone wasn't good. Thirdly it would just go to show that even Verizon will shove their own words up their ass just to get a piece of Apple equipment on their network. They looked like goons with that Droid commercial. Apple > Google.

They didnt want the iphone because it was bad, they didn't want the iphone because Apple wanted to much out of the deal and verizon wasn't willing to sell the farm to have the phone like ATT did. they build there network instead and now can support anything apple wants to throw at them.

Oh my God, please stop this. Verizon is not your friend. Verizon is a company that only wants your money. Stop acting as though any of these cellular companies give a crap about you... That being said, Verizon has not been challenged with the amount of data that AT&T has seen with the iPhone. Verizon does have a larger 3G network, but remember that spotty AT&T map covers 75% of the population. It's not the size of the network, it's the concentration of people that kills AT&T. Verizon would suffer just like AT&T in those areas if they didn't update their network capacity. But we will never know that...

Verizon never "cried" the iPhone wasn't good. They always knew, and still know how instrumental a device it is. Logistics regarding control over critical items like product control, testing, marketing ultimately doomed the first VZW/Apple dance. Lastly, regarding the now imfamous "Droid" commercial, it was made by Motorola. That was more Motorola poking jabs at Apple, than Verizon poking at Apple. With 2010 being arguably one of the most important years in wireless history, why would Verizon purposely damage it's growth with Apple?

Jeff, wtf are you talking about? verizon has more coverage AND more customers. AT&T has the iphone supposedly "eating up" all 3g service, but do you forget that just because verizon doesnt have the iphone doesnt mean that it has no smart phones? i definitely dont know the number, but im pretty sure there are more phones using 3g services on verizon than AT&T, even though they got the iphone

I think Verizon has the greatest number of blackberry devices out of any carrier. And they use just as much data

ROTFLMAO @ all the misinformed misanthropes. 1) VZW liked the iPhone, they just hated the revenue sharing scheme Apple wanted to force on them. 2) Saying VZW has a larger 3G network than AT&T is an understatement, it's truly more inmense in coverage. 3) AT&T does have coverage where the people are, they just don't have the capacity to handle all the bandwith used. 4) VZW does have the capacity and has proved it in the last 4 months with the launch of many many many data intensive phones. Seriously folks ... if you're going to be a hater ... be an informed hater ... at least that makes the discussions worthwile.

Thats a great point. You could have a cell company with a 3G map which covers all of Antarctica (nearing twice the sq. mileage of the US) who has the "largest 3G network in the world" or a company whose 3G coverage only covers New York City. It is only an issue to those slow, and there are many of them, fools in the US who see all that red and apparently think "oh thank god VZW covers South Dakota even though I've never been there and have no intentions of changing that fact. It's just nice to know I have it!!" So please continue bragging about your extensive Idaho coverage and converting people who aren't to smart enough to figure out the spelling difference between "soap" and "soup". I'm just going to continue lobbying for passing a test to have children and euthanasia for humans which, I think, will cut your customer base in half.

What good is your pin point accurate (ha) coverage when enough of your own customers can't use it to the point they organize network crippling parties? lol
