Verizon, the biggest carrier in the USA by subscribers, is working with Google on a tablet computer. Verizon's CEO said that the company wants to compete with AT&T, which is the carrier for Apple's iPad and Amazon's e-reader, Kindle. Google declined to comment on this announcement, it just said that anyone can use companies software in order to produce phones and other mobile devices. Verizon mentioned that the tablet will be possible available next year, when the company installs its faster network. We know one thing that Verizon and Google have been working together on smartphones, so their further cooperation may result in creation of a tablet. Both companies have rivals to compete with and that is Apple and AT&T.
But what does this mean for customer? It means alternative for the iPad, especially for people who don't like Apple. It will probably have new features, not seen on other tablet, so it enriches the offer on the fast growing tablet market.
