Apple Tablet: Qualcomm Chip, Verizon, Docking Station?

Apple Tablet: Qualcomm Chip, Verizon, Docking Station?

Posted January 20, 2010 at 7:16pm by iClarified
The Apple Tablet will feature a wireless chip made by Qualcomm confirming that Apple has chosen Verizon as its telco partner, says Northeast Securities analyst Ashok Kumar.

"This makes sense for Apple," says Nielsen Wireless analyst Roger Entner. "It behooves them to build a relationship with a company they haven't worked with yet," Enter said.

TheStreet.com notes that analysts estimate Verizon will subsidize about $200 of the tablet's price and require a two-year data service plan of around $60 a month. They expect the device to sell for around $800 without a subsidy.


Kumar also believes the tablet will include a docking station which could connect to a keyboard and mouse.

I think Verizon will have to subsidize more than $200 for a $60 a month data plan for 2 years, that's a little steep if you ask me. I'd rather pay the full price of the tablet than be stuck in a two year agreement.
