EXCLUSIVE: Verizon pushing iTunes installation to its stores

We received a confirmation that Verizon is installing the iTunes software in its stores. You know, iTunes, Apple's multimedia organizer and player, which just happens to be used for syncing your iPhone 4 and your iPad with your computer.

Now, we are not thinking of fueling speculation about an upcoming iPhone 4 to Verizon's network. The iTunes rollout across the stores is most certainly due to today's Apple iPad launch on Big Red. The famous tablet will be sold in 2000 stores across the country with either a Verizon MiFi unit, or as a standalone product, for prices that are not different than those anywhere else. The data plans for the iPad start at $20 for 1GB of traffic.

Have a look at the screenshot from Verizon's store computers and tell us what you make of it.

Thanks for the tip!

Really tired of seeing these leaks from VZW employees. I really hope corporate security finds you and fires you on the spot. It makes it harder than it needs to be to stay competitive.

@gcombs Ipad Wifi has no contract with any company while iPhone does.....The two don't go hand and hand so how does this make it a sure thing they're getting the iphone?

Actually sir, it is a big deal. You can not only be fined or fired from your job from posting shit like this, but you can be put in jail for up to ten years!!!! The competitiveness that the iphone and att have brought to the mobile industry are crazy!!! when VZW get the iphone all that goes away. EXCLUSIVITY will know no name anymore... it will all be based on versitility of the network and how much you spend for what you get. People dont understand the reprocussions of taking this info public. Respect for the company you work for needs to be taken seriously in this industry. Shame on Phone Arena for posting this crap!! Its one thing if a suit from walstreet says soemthing about what the product will be and when it will be launching, but for a vzw emp to take a picture of internal computer systems just so he can be the one to have a photo on phone arena is rediculous. Its only a matter of time before big red has that jamoke put in the slammer. If everyone would just relax and hope for the best you will have your i phones in hand and then no one will care about this stupid site anymore!
