The iPhone 4G is coming but what about the network?

It’s already been well documented regarding how much money AT&T would have to spend to get its network up to the same standard as Verizon, and they are currently upgrading their 3G network. However this doesn’t seem to take into account what will happen when 4G finally appears.

The present AT&T expansion has been much desired by 3G phone customers who in some particular areas have suffered from bad coverage. The upgrades going on in regions such as Florida and New York will be greatly appreciated and is certainly long overdue from AT&T so seems a good use of resources.

However all the talk these days is of the imminent arrival of the 4G iPhone. Nobody knows quite sure when, but we know it’s coming, though it does appear that the 4G network may not be ready for it. AT&T doesn’t look likely to have a 4G network ready until sometime in 2011. So will the iPhone 4G be delayed until then, or maybe Verizon will be offered it instead?

Apple sets iPad release date

More than a month after Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced the iPad, his company has finally set a release date for its highly anticipated tablet.

The Wi-Fi-only iPad version will be available to customers in the U.S. on April 3. The company didn’t announce a launch date for the iPad model boasting both 3G and Wi-Fi, but it did say that it should hit store shelves in late April.

Pre-orders for both versions of the iPad will start on March 12.

Apple’s iPad announcement comes just days after AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson said that he believes the Wi-Fi-only version of Apple’s iPad will outsell the 3G-capable model. Stephenson contends that “a lot of people” likely won’t want to pay for another 3G subscription.

AT&T’s 3G data plans for the iPad will cost $14.99 for 250 megabytes of monthly data or $29.99 for unlimited data.

iPad pricing starts at $499 for the 16GB, Wi-Fi only model.
