Verizon has announced ambitious plans for a live TV app for iPad, which is due to launch in early 2011.

The app will tie into Verizon’s FiOS home TV service, and will only be available to subscribers. there will also initially be a restriction that the app can only be used within their own homes.

Verizon CIO Shaygan Kheradpir introduced the service yesterday, and said the company expects to have all its content partners signed up by launch.

Those partners include CNN, whose parent company Time Warner has been working with Verizon on developing the service.

Alongside the new iPad app, Verizon also unveiled a new video-on-demand service that will deliver videos to up to five different PCs and mobile devices.

The app is due to launch by the end of this year, and will support selected Android, Windows Mobile and BlackBerry smartphones at launch, with iPhone and other devices following later.

Heading for vacation or a long trip to a destination in another location across the world? then you’ll want something to entertain yourself on the plane, in the airport, and on transit to your final destination. The Apple iPad is the perfect addition to any planned trip, no matter what your destination. You will be able to read a book, play games, watch movies, and listen to music all from the convenience of your small device. when you decide to sell your iPad after a vacation, you will actually be able to receive some your vacation money back.

A good idea would be to consider purchasing an iPad as an investment. You are investing in a service that will complete its job immediately following the planned vacation. Once you are finished with the vacation, you will no longer need to use the iPad. The iPad’s main convenience regards frequent travelers and those heading to vacation. upon returning home, you will simply realize you do not need the iPad for everyday living. rather than just leave the iPad laying around, awaiting for the next time you will be able to take a vacation, sell your iPad and get some of your money back.

This is not to say that an iPad is not an enjoyable companion alongside your vacation. With an iPad, you will be able to get online at the airport, download and listen to music, play an assortment of recreational and educational games, read a book as part of an Ebook collection, watch the latest movies, and view your favorite television shows. The iPad was essentially created by Apple to accompany frequent flyers. All of these characteristics of the iPad are for frequent fliers and travelers. These are the elements people traveling use with the most frequency. rather than having to carry a book, iPod, video game system, computer, and portable DVD player, the iPad conveniently succumbs all of these items into one small location of Apple’s iPad device.

Invest in an iPad for the trip, and then sell your iPad upon your return. Depending on cost and selling price, you will probably end up only spending less than thirty dollars on the device. Considering all that it does and all you can accomplish with it and enjoy on your vacation, it is quite a steal! You will be the envy of all fellow travelers, and they will have no idea that you are only spending less than fifty dollar to enjoy such an incredible piece of travel equipment. Unless you travel with frequency, there is really no point in owning an iPad. however, that is not to say there is no point in using an iPad. consider it a lease or loan, in that you technically purchase the device, use it, and then sell it again for your money back.

Consumers wishing to buy the latest from Apple will be surely please with the opportunity to buy the iPad at a reduced cost. rather than paying full price, they will be more willing to purchase a barely used iPad at a lower cost than in the store. make a few quick bucks and sell your iPad to a consumer online.

Surely, there are going to be some people beating their heads against a wall in Redmond today.

After a decade of pursuing the notion of a tablet computer for consumers, it now appears possible, if not likely, that Apple will be the one that gets credit–and the revenue–for making the product mainstream.

Although PC makers have been selling tablet-shaped computers for years, the idea has caught on mainly in niche business markets like health care and transportation, rather than as a device for the average Joe.

But that’s not to say Microsoft hasn’t been trying. bill Gates first talked about the idea of a Tablet PC at Comdex back in 2000.

A year later, Gates rolled out various models, including one Compaq prototype that resembled a giant version of its iPaq handheld.

“Next year I hope a lot of people in the audience will be taking their notes on a Tablet PC,” Gates told the Comdex crowd.

But few took him up on the offer.

Microsoft continued to refine the notion, improving the handwriting, but the products remained a niche. Most of the “tablet PCs” that have sold have actually been notebook computers with a rotating screen as opposed to the slate models that are similar to Apple’s device.

More recently, the company worked on a consumer tablet effort known as Project Origami. Microsoft managed to get considerable buzz for the notion–even before people knew what Origami was.

The first few details sounded appealing. The idea was to lay the groundwork for a consumer device that was like a Windows PC, but smaller, powered by touch, had all-day battery life, and cost well under $1,000, ideally around $500.

The products that emerged though, such as the Samsung Q1, ended up costing too much and had limited battery life, blunting their appeal.

Apple, meanwhile, has a tablet that starts at $500 and has 10 hours of battery life.

That could be a key selling point. “Folks have always been interested in tablets, said IDC analyst Richard Shim. “It’s just that the price points have always been too high. That’s changed, clearly.”

Shim said IDC estimates that Apple will sell four million to five millioniPad tablets this year. that compares to an estimate of just 1.3 million Tablet PCs–only 170,000 of which will be slates. (Last year IDC says about 1 million tablets were sold, 125,000 of which were slates, as compared to about 875,000 that were convertible PCs)

Of course, the fact that Apple has unveiled the iPad tablet doesn’t guarantee its success. Although the company has had a string of hits, it has also had products that either had only modest impact (thinkMac Mini) or less (Apple TV). that said, it has come in at a lower-than-expected price and also has the option for relatively cheap 3G data, albeit from AT&T.

Microsoft, meanwhile, hasn’t given up on the tablet. with the addition of multitouch inWindows 7 the company is hoping that a new generation of tablets will hold more interest. At this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer showed a prototype HP tablet running Windows 7. I’m told the device is expected mid-year and uses an 8.9-inch display. In a video, embedded below, HP’s Phil McKinney says that the company has been working on an entertainment-oriented slate for the past five years.

Microsoft is also exploring the notion of a dual-screen tablet, code-named Courier, a video of which leaked out early last year. In an interview with CNET, Microsoft entertainment unit head Robbie Bach confirmed the video was genuine, but wouldn’t say where the project stands now.

“We do a lot of exploratory videos on a lot of different products,” Bach said in the interview, which took place at CES earlier this month. “The video that went around the Internet that was the so-called Courier is just another example of those. we do a lot of those. we don’t comment on them.”

Here’s HP’s video on its slate. (It is a promotional video, so don’t click unless you want to watch what amounts to a five minute ad.)

Apple's iPad Tablet Touches a Nerve at Microsoft

Wired Magazine’s price cut for its iPad app is making quite some news. The question many people seem to be asking is this: “The magazine publisher sold some 95,000 digital copies of its June issue at $4.99, the same price the ink-and-paper edition commands. So why sell the July issue at $3.99–while also knocking down the price of the first issue to the same level?”

The answer is simple: increasingly, as predicted, the iPad app game is becoming a volume game. and in that context, 3.99 increasingly seems to be the new 4.99.

This last week in Apple has been a rollercoaster. first, Apple’s antenna design in the iPhone 4 was declared a “work of genius,” but it turns out that same antenna is causing issues for some users who apparently hold the iPhone the wrong way. We also reviewed Lightroom 3 and iOS 4, examined an iPad mod, and more. Read on for the roundup:

Ars reviews iOS 4: what’s new, notable, and what needs work: Apple’s new iOS 4 offers some highly requested new features to iPhone and iPod touch users. Ars took a look at the new OS to ferret out some of its most notable (and questionable) qualities.

Ars reviews Adobe Lightroom 3: Lightroom 3 may not be knee-deep in new features, but the Camera RAW 6 stuff alone has the potential to save people a lot of time. Ars takes a look what Lightroom 3 has to offer.

iPhone 4 deconstructed; antenna design a “work of genius”: iFixit has given the iPhone 4 its usual complete teardown treatment, two days before the device officially launches. The phone indeed does have 512MB of RAM and a well-engineered cell antenna.

Developers expect iOS and Mac OS to merge over time: Mac OS X developers aren’t as concerned as our own John Siracusa about the future of Apple’s platforms, but they see the desktop and mobile platforms influencing each other, and eventually merging over time.

Apple delays white iPhone 4 due to manufacturing “challenge”: Apple has postponed the launch of the white iPhone 4 into July thanks to a “challenge” in the manufacturing process. Looks like it’s black or nothing for now.

iPad mod enables Verizon 3G network compatibility: Not satisfied with AT&T’s 3G performance on your iPad? all you need is an iPad 3G, a MiFi, and some soldering skills, and you can leave AT&T behind.

Review: Tilt to Live, pure awesome for iPhone: How can dots, arrows, and an accelerometer prove utterly addicting? Tilt to Live provides the answer.

Lefties: beware iPhone 4 reception problem: The iPhone 4’s clever antenna design has an apparent weak spot, which can practically eliminate 3G signal for those who hold it in a certain way.

Jobs on iPhone 4 antenna: “avoid holding it in this way”: Steve Jobs has given his official statement on the iPhone 4 antenna problem that can result in the loss of 3G signal: just hold your phone differently!

MobileMe Mail updated, find My iPhone becomes an iOS app: The new MobileMe webmail interface has moved from beta to official status, along with a few new MobileMe UI tweaks. meanwhile, find My iPhone has gotten its own universal iOS app.

Have a great weekend everyone! look for our review of the iPhone 4 early next week!
