This exciting report comes from our good pal at Fone Frenzy, they are reporting that Verizon Wireless CEO, Lowell McAdam have been visiting Apple headquarter at Cupertino for the past couple months. For what you ask? Extensive testing a CDMA iPhone on Verizon’s 4G LTE network. First off, if you don’t know what LTE is, Gizmodo has a great write-up explaining the whole deal with 4G LTE.
If this story sounds familiar to you, that’s because back in April of this year, BusinessWeek had an interview with Verizon Wireless CEO Lowell McAdam, where he confirmed that he has been going to secret meetings with Apple executives including Mr. Steve Jobs. He didn’t say exactly what was discussed, but BusinessWeek’s sources say that it’s about two Apple devices coming over to Verizon, the iPhone 4G and the mystical Apple Tablet device. That was back in April, fast forward to late October, looks like they are past negotiation and testing the Verizon iPhone 4G for a 2010 release, when the LTE is also slated for launch.
Although the Apple Tablet didn’t come up in Fone Frenzy’s report, the old BusinessWeek’s article did say that Verizon and Apple were in talks of introducing the iPhone and Media Pad/iPad on Big Red’s network. And if the hundreds of Apple Tablet rumors means anything, with the device launching in early 2010, there’s a chance that we’ll be seeing a Verizon 4G enabled Apple Tablet.
Oh and about that whole “iDoesn’t” campaign, Fone Frenzy noted that: There is more to Motorola and Verizon anti-iPhone Campaign than meets the eye. While everyone was busy talking about or writing about the Verizon anti-iPhone campaing, few noticed that the commercials were not produced by Verizon, but Motorola.
