Verizon to offer 'up to' five LTE handsets by next May, Android tablets from HTC and friends


I found another news connected with carriers upgrading their networks, but this time Verizon. Verizon plans to launch up to 5 mobile phones compatible with LTE, which is high speed network, considered 4G (4th generation network) by May 2011, which exactly a year from now. It means that the company may release from zero to five phones, because everything depends on phones producers like Motorola, HTC or RIM.
The company is also planning on releasing more than tablet. We have already heard about Verizon supposedly working with Google on Android based tablet. Furthermore, Verizon plans to release tablets from companies like Samsung, LG and Motorola.
I don't think that those devices can compete with iPad, but healthy rivalry is always a good thing. Verizon is also trying to compete with other wireless carriers by their plan to upgrade network to LTE, which is what AT&T is going.
