Verizon Confirms its Netbook Intentions
PrintWho isn't either making or selling netbooks these days? Verizon, for one, but not for long. According to CNet, the telco has confirmed reports that it will enter the netbook market in June of this year by selling 3G enabled netbooks in its corporate stores.
That netbook will likely be the HP Mini 1000, as evidenced by a leaked shot of a Verizon approved device and price list on BoyGeniusReport.com. No pricing details have yet been released, however early speculation suggests it may sell for as low as $99 with a two-year service agreement.
If true, things could get very interesting between Verizon and rival AT&T. AT&T already sells Acer netbooks for $99 with service agreement through RadioShack, while also selling Dell Mini Inspirons through the the telco's website.
