@Michael Reynaga: You'll also notice Nokia N900 & "Full Android on Vogue" (an old WinMo). Android is just that versatile and easy to develop for. I myself ran a very stable version on Froyo on my Touch Pro 2 before it got replaced with an Imagio (which I simultaneously hate and love).

@USB_Humping_Dog: No, we shouldn't. But if that's what it takes to make Apple look like they are they only ones that do things right, well that's OK.

Since I'm happily on the $30 unlimited plan this is fine with me, but half the price only nets you 150MB? What kind of crazy robutt math is that?

@interrogator_chaplain: Possibly, if you substitute flesh (peach?) for vanilla. Which is fine because vanilla is, well, vanilla.

For people who don't care for or need a touchscreen this seem like a pretty good form-factor.

Has anyone tried this yet? I'm interested to know if they update the software any. Mainly, did they add the option to search Netflix. Lack of search on the Wii is one of the reasons I moved my Roku box back into the living room.

I for one welcome, the chance to comment on this history changing story.

I loves me some Red Vines! Doesn't really fit with the names they've used, but gives me a reason to declare my love of the candy!

@Leon Carpenter: VZW does not have an unlimited plan for $20 a month, so I don't really see what you are getting at. Cheapest unlimited plan for smartphones is $29.99.

@Drew Boyd: Yup, vajayjays too.

While I respect what Steve Jobs has accomplished, the look on his face in that pic is pure dochebaggery.

@Tetsuooooooo: Might wanna clean your glasses bro.

@atticus679: Extreme closup!

@wætherman: But how would they have recharged them? Guess they could have lowered a really long extension chord 6 or 7 power squids.

I want to make some snide remark at Apple's expense, but I can't. Even though I know this is just Apple buying hot publicity at an extremely low price, they didn't have to give these guys jack, and no one could fault them if they didn't.

@ddhboy: Could very well be the case, but VZW has been super reluctant to allow any video chatting over their network. Not sure they would want a facetime enable iPad that wasn't LTE.

The fact that we are seeing this bundle now makes me think a CDMA iPhone will show up on VZW soon. Think about it, drop a iPad/MiFi combo deal which will generate interest in MiFi by attaching it to the hot product of the year. Now people start to associate VZW with iOS.

@pretty pretty pony: I would assume that if the VZW CDMA iPhone rumors are true, we'll see a CDMA iPad shortly after it drops, if not at the same time. The iPad and iPhone would share the same guts after all.

@farker: There is no contract, the MiFi is month-to-month.

@ddhboy: But hasn't VZW already confirmed WP7 support starting in 2011?
