Verizon Leveraging iPad WiFi Launch to Sell Verizon MiFi

When in doubt, sell 3G data contracts and the money will roll in. According to Engadget, wireless carrier Verizon is encouraging its staffers to tell customers to purchase the WiFi-only version of the iPad and pair it up with a device like the MiFi rather than shelling out $130 more for integrated AT&T 3G and 30 days until the device launches.

Verizon has followed this up by calling its biggest competitor's 3G network "overloaded" even though there's currently a 5GB limit of data on a Verizon MiFi plan which will run users $60 a month, twice as much as AT&T will be charging for its dedicated, unlimited iPad plan.

Adding to Adobe's conflict with Apple, Mashable has posted a story as to how Adobe has teamed up with HP to offer a couple of video demos for HP's Slate tablet, the longer demo showcasing Slate's use of Flash and AIR support.

Apple Releases iPhone SDK 3.2 Beta 4 For iPad, Removes Camera Tab

Today Apple released (developer account required) an updated version of the iPhone SDK 3.2 beta for iPad development. Beta 4 includes several fixes for the SDK, including a fix for Safari's bookmark feature within the simulator. Additionally, it seems that Apple has removed the "Camera" tab from the Photos app within the iPad simulator. The tab led many to believe that the iPad may ship with a camera, however Apple clarifies by saying in the release notes, "The Camera tab represents photos available via the Camera Connection Kit for iPad, and is not relevant for the Simulator. The Camera tab will disappear after a few seconds."

Beta 3 was released late last month for developers to work on iPad applications ahead of the launch. Apple plans to begin shipping the iPad on April 3rd.

The guys at Wired noticed that there are some notable exceptions among the announced iPad
apps, including Stocks, Calculator, Clock, Weather and Voice Memos. While these applications could be quickly available for download via the App Store, fury.com's Kevin Fox argued that these applications could arrive in the form of Dashboard widgets to begin with.

In his article, Fox theorized that a five-finger pinch motion could launch Dashboard and give access to these apps while a second motion would return them to the background.
