Over the decades the "Apple tax" has gradually dwindled to nearly nothing, even as people seem to be more and more offended by it.

It could be just an 'big' iTouch and still sell like gangbusters. It really only needs to be responsive and light weight. Price? Since when did Apple fans ever look at what they got for what price? Never, okay maybe in 1983, but once Mac hit in 1984 Apple started their tax and they never looked back.<br><br>And, let me tell you, if their device works half a second faster for screen movement as opposed to the other touch-screens -- they win.

Mostly I'd be using it in places with wifi anyway. If Verizon wants to offer it at a discount if you sign with them that's fine, as long as I can pay full price to use it with wifi.

There could be a a flip cover to protect the screen while not in use and the keyboard would be wireless. Sounds great I hope HP comes out with one.

Thanks for the insight. I hadn't really thought about the repercussions from 3G plan or not, and phone capability or not, or even how ridiculous it might look using the iPad while talking on an iPhone...

Apple is too happy making money off their application store. Don’t see any Apple products ever with Verizon. Both companies think they are the ones in control.
