BGR got the inside scoop on what Verizon has up their sleeves for the end of this year and next year. Expect to see treats like Android tablets, a Droid Pro device, Motorola tablets, 4G LTE info, 4G laptop sticks, and 4G Mifi. Verizon plans to pull out all stops to show AT&T that they are the superior cell carrier. Which they already are but AT&T seems to think otherwise. Check out the details below.
-
In addition to the Motorola DROID and Motorola DROID X, we’re told Motorola will launch a new DROID handset, the Motorola DROID Pro. It is supposed to have a 1.3GHz CPU, 4″ screen and global roaming capabilities. Estimated launch of November 2010
-
Motorola is working with Verizon on a “slab form-factor” device that sort of looks like an old Motorola Q but features a full touchscreen and global roaming. It will run Android 2.2. Maybe this will be a lower cost, MOTOBLUR handset?
-
There are a lot more Android invasions happening before the end of the year, we’re told. This includes a global Android device from both Samsung and HTC.
-
Samsung is working on a 7″ screen Android tablet with front-facing camera. Motorola is also working on a tablet as well, except it will sport a 10″ screen, either 1GHz or 1.3GHz CPU, front-facing camera, and Android 3.0. Don’t expect the Motorola so soon though, as we’re informed that while the launch was supposed to happen in December, Android 3.0 will probably hold up the release of that device and we should expect it around February 2011.
-
Verizon Wireless is aiming and on track to have at least 75% of the country covered in LTE coverage by April 2012
-
There will be a Novatel LTE MiFi device available in January or February that will apparently support up to 10 simultaneous Wi-Fi users.
-
Lastly, we’re told LTE data pricing will stick at $59.99/month, though it’s unclear what the data allowance will be.
