“This is the perfect pairing for holiday travels,” said John Stratton, chief operating officer for Verizon Wireless, in the press release. “iPad together with the nation’s largest and most reliable 3G data network allows customers to easily connect on the go wherever they are.”
“We’re thrilled to be working with Verizon Wireless to get iPad into the hands of even more customers this holiday season,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s COO, in the press release. “iPad allows users to connect with their apps and content in a more intimate, intuitive and fun way than ever before, and together with Verizon Wireless we’re offering an easy way to stay connected wherever you go.”
iPad allows users to browse the web, read and send email, enjoy and share photos, watch HD videos, listen to music, play games, read ebooks and much more, all using iPad’s revolutionary Multi-Touch user interface. iPad Wi-Fi models are just 0.5 inches thick and weigh just 1.5 pounds—thinner and lighter than any laptop or netbook—and deliver up to 10 hours of battery life.
Apple’s App Store offers iPad users access to the world’s largest catalog of apps with over 280,000 apps and more than 30,000 iPad specific apps in 20 categories, including games, business, news, sports, health, reference and travel. With Apple’s iBookstore, the best way to browse, buy and read books on a mobile device, iPad users have access to more than 100,000 books from major and independent publishers.
MiFi 2200 is small enough to fit in a pocket and allows customers to create a personal Wi-Fi cloud capable of sharing the high-speed Internet connectivity of the Verizon Wireless 3G Mobile Broadband network with up to five Wi-Fi-enabled devices. The MiFi 2200’s rechargeable battery provides up to four hours of active use and 40 hours of standby time on a single charge.
Customers can sign up for more information on Apple’s iPad together with Verizon Wireless’ MiFi 2200 at www.verizonwireless.com/iPad, at any Verizon Wireless Communications Store or by calling 1-800-2 JOIN IN.

This may be a clever way for Verizon to estimate the impact of iPhone data consumption on their network, using iPad + MiFi 3G consumption as a baseline.
…but I seriously doubt they’re that clever…

Sounds like the thawing of the stand-off between Apple and Verizon to me. Iphone with Verizon even more surely to happen.

The sound of office chairs sailing through the air can be heard from MS headquarters. While squirrels scurry about looking for their nuts.

I think this confirms the iPhone on Verizon rumors. Apple must have really ramped up manufacturing of the iPads to have all these new outlets. With no real competion and being sold almost everywhere the iPad will be intrenched in the tablet market. The first year of the new decade and Apple has already set the course for computers for the rest of it.

1 GB? Not enough what is the cost if you go over? I like the 2 GB for 25 on AT&T better. Also one less thing to charge. Think how fast you can use that data with 5 devices connected.

So they can’t offer 3G because the negotiations took so long that Apple didn’t have time left before Christmas to add CDMA radios? Am I getting that right? I agree with other comments overall but having a separate radio box seems pretty clunky as a happy AT&T iPad user…

Four hours on a charge, not as good as an iPad 3G.
