Apple, Verizon Talks May Include New iPhone, Tablet
Tuesday, April 28th, 2009 at 8:46 AM - by Jeff Gamet
Rumors that Apple and Verizon are negotiating an iPhone deal are building momentum, and now it looks like they include detail leaks about two new handheld devices. The rumored products include an "iPhone lite," possibly just for Verizon, and a multimedia tablet device that's bigger than the iPhone and sports a touch screen interface, according to BusinessWeek.
Details on the "iPhone lite" are slim, although it appears that the device will cost less than the current iPhone 3G, sport a thinner profile, and will use "system on a chip" technology.
The tablet-style device will apparently be smaller than the Amazon Kindle, but with a bigger display. It will play music and movies, and display photos. One person that claimed to have seen the tablet commented "We are talking about a device where people will say, 'Damn, why didn't we do this?' Apple is probably going to define the damn category."
If Apple and Verizon do strike a deal, that would end AT&T's exclusive iPhone deal in the U.S., and the cell carrier is currently working to prevent that from happening. AT&T is in talks with Apple to extend its exclusive iPhone deal beyond 2010, and Apple executives have said that they are happy with their relationship with the cell service provider.
Apple may also be pitting the two carriers against each other to improve its own negotiating position. If so, the company may be able to call the shots for new iPhone deals with AT&T and Verizon.
