Verizon to Offer Apple iPad Starting October 28, 2010

Starting October 28, 2010 you’ll be able to buy an Apple iOS product through Verizon: the Apple iPad. Verizon will be selling the iPad as a standalone product or bundled with its MiFi 2200 mobile hotspot. Here’s more info from the press release:

Verizon Wireless will offer three bundles, all featuring an iPad Wi-Fi model and a Verizon MiFi 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot, for a suggested retail price of $629.99 for iPad Wi-Fi 16GB + MiFi, $729.99 for iPad Wi-Fi 32GB + MiFi and $829.99 for iPad Wi-Fi 64GB + MiFi. Verizon Wireless is offering a monthly access plan to iPad customers of up to 1GB of data for just $20 a month. In addition, Verizon Wireless will also offer all three iPad Wi-Fi models on a stand-alone basis.

The overage charge for the $20 plan is $20 per GB. Additional wireless plans include $35 a month for 3GB with a $10 per GB overage charge and $50 a month for 5GB with a $10 per GB overage charge. Although the prices for the iPad are the same as the AT&T equivalents, the service prices are better than AT&T’s and the MiFi 2200 can be used with other devices.

More importantly, Verizon and Apple are working together. For all of you dreaming about a CDMA iPhone 4 on Verizon in early 2011, this is a great sign.

Any of you tempted to buy an iPad through Verizon? What do you think of Apple and Verizon finally working together? Do you think a Verizon iPhone is a shoe-in or is this partnership more about Apple fending off upcoming Google Android tablets?

  1. That does seem like a pretty clear indicator to me that the iPhone will be on Verizon's network in January. I think it's a good sign for both Apple and Verizon to be working together now. I like options, and even though I am pretty much done with the idea of getting an iPhone, it will better for the consumer to have more options with their phones and carriers.
