Verizon Has No Plans for Apple Support in the "Immediate Future"

LOS ANGELES - Despite relentless speculation about the imminent support of the iPhone and iPad in the U.S., there is no plan for Verizon to support the Apple mobile devices in the "immediate future," John Johnson, a Verizon Wireless spokesperson told Beet.TV in this video interview.

The company is keen on the Android device and will introduce several new models this year, including devices that have high quality video recording capabilities with HDMI-like outputs.

4-G Will Come to 25-30 Markets This Year Along with Devices

Johnson says in this interview that the wireless company will introduce its 4-G network to 25-30 U.S. markets this year. Also this year, the company will introduce devices that will be able to connect to devices, USB-connected tongles, and the like. Verizon will introduce 4-G handsets next year, he says.

This interview took place yesterday at the Wall Street Journal's All Things Digital conference.

Hello! I know this is somewhat off topic but I wanted to ask which site platform are you using for this blog? I'm getting bored of Word press as I have had problems with online hackers. Thanks!

My name is Marinko, I worked in a famous company Nobel corporation that sells water filters. Many people are selling incomplete deceives. People are giving coverage to 200 Euros because they ware afraid of being sued if you give up. People have paid the 1000 euros and do not have cleane water as they promised. In my area there are 75 families who were tricked. About all this I have proved myself with because I worked for a Nobel. I ve seen too much so I got fired.

Think carefully breaker let them into the house to trich you? As my family and many others. I decided to tell this whole world.

I am in central Iowa and AT&T coverage is very spotty here. Dropped calls constantly. As others have said, it is iPhone and dropped calls vs. consistent service and no iPhone. My iPhone friends admit they love their phones enough to put up with the lousy service. But I cant put up with dropped calls, I do business over my phone. Why dont they just get on board. I love my iPod and would dearly love an iPhone.At&T, no way, unless they improve their service here.

Sorry. I want an iphone, but I am not willing to switch to AT&T. Verizon, Sprint, whoever, get a clue!!

I don't care about the Android! How about the iPhone. Good Lord! It blows me away. Verizon iPhone, get it done!

When are folks going to get a clue? AT&T is the only wireless company able to meet the demands of the highly technical iPhone. Verizon has never had the technical know-how. LOOK AT THEIR PHONES!!! It wasn't until the Andriod phones came along that Verizon had a smartphone worth talking about. And that took a long time too. Using an Andriod based phone on Verizon is not that great either. If you want an iPhone, switch to AT&T and shuddup. You won't see any problems unless you live in NYCity or San Francisco, where all cell phones have problems anyway.

Bummer, I was waiting to make the switch. The Android Eris is a not a good phone. Hopefully some other options will be available soon.
