Verizon iPad Release Apparently Not Ruled Out

Tweet

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you should know that during last week’s Apple event in San Francisco, Steve Jobs unveiled the much rumored iPad tablet — a device that somehow failed to impress the tech world. Speaking of the event, Apple has ruled out Verizon from the equation (despite early rumors) and only mentioned AT&T as the 3G carrier for the iPad, but things have changed today when Fox News’ Clayton Morris announced that the two companies are supposedly close to reaching an agreement.

From what it looks like, Apple and Big Red have been in rushed talks regarding an iPad Verizon release just one week ahead of the official unveiling, but couldn’t reach an agreement. Does that mean we’re going to see a CDMA iPad version soon, given the fact that this time Apple didn’t mention any AT&T exclusivities? Apparently that’s what Morris thinks, although he stayed tight-lipped regarding his sources.

So when exactly are we going to see the Apple iPad on the biggest U.S. wireless carrier if rumors confirm? Our bet : before the company’s Worldwide Developers Conference that will be held in June.

Way to go Verizon,now we want the iPhone, please!
