iPads Go on Sale in Verizon Stores! Is This the Start of Pricing Wars?

Apps for iPads brings you BREAKING NEWS!       

Note that Verizon is offering bundles with personal MiFi hot spots and will also be able to give their customers a monthly access plan that gives them up to 1GB of data for $20 per month. AT&T currently offers 2G for only $5 more, or $25.00 so this price is not a great one from Verizon, who happens to be my carrier of choice… but I am not going to overpay Verizon for a service… would you?  Will this start a pricing “war” that will benefit all iPad users?

Have you read that Comcast Cable is opening wi-fi hot spots for their customers? So far they are centered in the Northeast, but can others be far behind?
