Apple Tablet on Verizon? I certainly hope not.

by TABLETfan on January 27, 2010

There will be groans around the world if Apple launches the Tablet on Verizon alone. You will hear my screams for miles. I switched from Verizon because of crappy overseas access in the places I roamed. The iPhone works flawlessly where I travel and it gives me the functionality I wanted in a tight little package instead of the clunky Blackberry worldphones offered by Verizon.

So, it comes as a shock to me that a rumored surfaced on Engadget:

On a totally separate note, we also received a tip claiming to have some specs — we can’t verify any of this either, but we’re told that the device will have a 10-inch screen and look like a larger iPhone with a MacBook-like aluminum back, and that pricing will run $800 on contract with Verizon and $1000 without when it arrives in March.

WoW! First off, I nailed the MacBook like aesthetic in my rap about the iPad. Oh, and I’m not happy about the price. I suppose the Apple tax is included, but this thing better be multitasking and on AT&T and share everything with the iPhone and my MacBook Pro including tethering for $1000. And, it better buy me dinner first.
