Every year, iPhone users anticipate the latest and greatest technology from Apple.  To date, AT&T has had the exclusive rights to the Apple iPhone, but is it possible this may be ending?  Loyal Verizon consumers are hopeful.  In the past few days, rumors have announced that the new iPhone could work on the CDMA network, which is used by Verizon Wireless.

Mass production of the CDMA iPhones could start in September 2010, however, some analysts forecast the release of an actual Verizon iPhone would be more likely in 2011.  Opening up the iPhone availability to Verizon, which has over 91 million customers, would greatly expand the iPhone market.  It is estimated that it would nearly double the number of iPhones in the U.S.  Those are numbers that Apple can’t ignore forever.

Just as you thought you had all of the gadgets that you needed, Apple comes up with something new! The iPad, which is a large version of the iPhone without phone capabilities, will be hitting the shelves in the US on April 3rd. The iPad was originally unveiled in Jan and expected to be on the market in March, but has been delayed now until April. The iPad is smaller than most laptops, but much larger than a cell phone. The device’s first version will only be able to connect to Wi-Fi networks, while the second will be able to connect to “3G” cell networks. Ranging in price from $499 – $829 depending on data storage size and version.
There are 12 specific new applications for the iPad, as well as it is able to run many of the apps already created for the iPhone. Apple’s Web site will allow you to place orders for the iPad starting March 12th!!
