Rumor: BGR says Verizon Wireless currently testing iPads
Bad news about the AT&T iPad data plans got you down? Want to grasp at any strings you can about a possible Verizon announcement next week? We've got just the thing for you: Boy Genius Report says that Verizon is currently testing iPads out on their network. Rumor has it that they've got CDMA-compatible models running on the network right now, and they're checking them for stability and performance.Of course, a rumor is a rumor, and despite from the constant speculation and endless denials by both AT&T and Apple, there's no indication that Verizon is getting their own iPhones, much less an alternate deal for the iPad. But with WWDC going down next week and customers frustrated with AT&T's plans, the time might be ripe for Verizon to provide an alternative.

If a Verizon iPad came available, I would order it the day it was announced. We have an AT&T 3G iPad now, but I am so pissed at them with their bait-and-switch that I will never buy another product that uses their half-azzed service.

The iPad to me seems like the perfect start for an iPhone OS device on Verizon. Since it isn't an iPhone it shouldn't have any exclusivity problems with at&t, and since you don't make calls on it there's no worry about being unable to use voice and data at the same time on CDMA.

June 04 2010 at 8:42 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI already bought my 3G, even thought I have Verizon for my cell service. Honestly, a CDMA iPad doesn't interest me. Until it's full 4G, I'll stick with what I've got. Same with the iPhone. My Moto Devour will do until Verizon gets the true 4G iPhone.
