If you haven’t caught wind of today’s big news, Verizon Wireless announced it will add the Apple iPhone to its smartphone lineup in early February. But what about the iPad? It seems that Verizon is planning to sell a version of Apple’s iPad that can connect directly to its network. In an interview with Bloomberg, Verizon Wireless Chief Financial Officer Francis Shammo said Verizon will sell a new version of the iPad with an integrated CDMA radio.
What makes this such a big deal is that AT&T’s 3G wireless network was the only network compatible with the radio-integrated iPad. More competition for AT&T. Current Verizon customers need an extra device to connect to the Verizon network on an iPad right now. This will eliminate that.
No date has been revealed for the Verizon’s CDMA iPad release.
