January 20th, 2010 | Author: jared premo
For those of you who have a Macbook air, you know how cool they are. You also know there is a down side, and that is the lack of built in 3G. Verizon has come up with a solution, a tiny MiFi, some say that it isn’t enough.
Apple has been affected by this lack of 3G. People are choosing to purchase Dell and HP laptops when they would rather have a MacBook. Apple has gotten with the program; Apple is considering upgrading to its pro line to include 3G. For know, MacBook owners have to use something like the tiny MiFi by Verison. Most MacBook users feel the 3G should be a standard in MacBook’s as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi is.
If you visit a number of stores you will see cheap netbooks with built-in 3G, so why is Apple so late to the party? Cnet News believes that the reason for this is because customers are demanding it; this is not something that Apple customers are desperate for.

Apple Tablet To Use verizon 3G Network
January 9th, 2010 | Author: jared premo
The apple tablet / iSlate has been long awaited. The tablet / iSlate has been reported to incorporate access to Verizon’s 3G network to connect to the Internet if a WiFi network is unavailable according to Broadpoint AmTech analyst Brian Marshall in a recent ComputerWorld article. It is possible the apple tablet / iSlate will have both WiFi and wireless connectivity and will be available at multiple wireless carriers, including Verizon.
It has been reported, the apple tablet / iSlate will be an ebook reader, a TV viewer, and more. If Apple offers the device through multiple carriers for 3G data, it would be a departure from the strategy the company has heretofore employed for the iPhone, which is limited to one carrier in most markets around the globe. It has been reported, Apple and verizon were in negotiations to partner on an iPhone deal, with the tablet subbing out for the iPhone.
