Verizon to Sell iPad, Nope Not like That

Beginning October 28, Verizon will start selling the Apple iPad at more than 2,000 stores across the US. The catch is (Did you really think it was going to be that easy?) they will only carry the Wi-Fi model, but they will bundle it with their mobile hotspot, the Verizon MiFi, so you can tether. Althogh this may not be as sleek and elegant as the 3G iPad, if AT&T doesn't cover your area the added bulk is better than no coverage. 

This combo will cost $630 for the 16 GB, $730 for the 32 GB, and $830 for the 64 GB. Apart from that, the MiFi service will cost $20 for 1 GB of data. Like AT&T's current rates, it does not require a contract. Going on vacation for a month? Turn it off and save a cool $20.

AT&T will step up their game as well on the same day of October 28th selling iPads in their stores too. Of course, they will sell the 3G model.

"It’s interesting that Apple has allowed AT&T’s main competitor to sell the tablet, and it may hint at a newfound partnership between the two companies."
