Apple Tablet Will Have Qualcomm Chip and Verizon 3G

The Street.com reports the upcoming Apple tablet will feature a wireless chip (CDMA) made by Qualcomm and Apple has chosen Verizon as its telco partner, says Northeast Securities analyst Ashok Kumar.

The analyst continues to speculate that Verizon will subsidize about $200 of the Tablet’s price and require a two-year data service plan of around $60 a month. Apple is expected to sell the Tablet for around $800 without a subsidy.

As far as hardware is concerned, Apple has learned the on-screen keyboard does not win the heart of many users. The next tablet will include a docking station, which connects to a keyboard and mouse, according to Northeast Securities’ Kumar.
