Verizon iPad TV ad is out
Last month Verizon Wireless stores began selling iPad/MiFi bundles. Now, the first television spot advertising that fact has debuted. It features a user in a small room with an iPad on his lap. He pulls a MiFi from his pocket, flicks it on and presto! The walls of the room disappear as "the world opens up" to him. It's got a nice Apple vibe and should get people talking. "Wait a minute. Apple and Verizon?"
You can watch the ad after the break.

Too bad you need their mobile hotspot to make it work. I'd love to buy a sim chip from someone else and stop paying so much for so little bandwidth.

By "someone else", the only other choice you could mean is TMobile. At best, they would push the ATT and verizon plans to be more competitive.
Ipad 3Gs are unlocked, so they are welcoming any competent carrier.
Nice ad, Verizon. As my 3G S battery nears the end of its useful charging life, I'm dying for better service in Chicago. Could be Verizon, but who knows how many more carriers as AT&T exclusivity ends?

It looks a lot like the Crystal Cove/Pelican Hill Golf Course area in Newport Beach. I live right down the road I know these coastlines can look similar but that looks a lot like that area. Just curious.
