In Apple news, the company is in talks to bring its rumored tablet device to the 3G networks of both Verizon and AT&T, according to reports. Since Verizon uses the wireless network standard called CDMA, and AT&T uses the GSM standard, Apple may have to produce two different versions of the device, says Fox News.
Then again, a “world edition” device that runs on both network types may not be out of the question, assuming the Apple news on this product is right and the device will have cellular connectivity. Two-timing tablets…how dare you.
