I had absolutely nothing more important to be jubilant about when I heard the rumors of the iPhone 5 coming on Verizon Wireless. But this latest development is equally important and surprising. Apple has just announced that it will have iPad made available on the Verizon Wireless stores as well those of AT&T in the US from October 28.

The press release stated that the iPad will be available across the 2,000 Verizon Wireless Stores across the US and will have three offerings. All of these will include the iPad Wi-Fi model as well as the Verizon MiFi 2200 Mobile Hotspot. The details along with pricing are:

I guess the best feature on the iPhone 4 that was boasted about at the WWDC was the FaceTime, the ability to have a voice conversation via the WiFi connection. This wasn’t available over your 3G primarily for the fact that AT&T’s data plan couldn’t allow that. Of course without seriously burdening your wallet. Many iPhone users would have cursed the unavailability owing to the fact that WiFi isn’t readily available and the numerous apps that do enable voice chat don’t really give in a great experience.

Welcome My3G, the app that lets you make FaceTime calls across your 3G network. However, you must remember that this app is only for Jailbreak iPhones. Of course there are risks involved with jailbreaking your device, but if the offer includes making voice calls and getting access to the countless many apps which are not available on the App Store, the reason is appealing enough to give it a shot.

The holiday season is quite far but I guess Google is just a bit too hasty on giving away to the people. The giant is planning to extend its free WiFi to a full 47 airports. That is not it, there is a plethora of more, the most impressive is the donation; any airport that manages to muster $250 in donations via the WiFi will get $15,000 worth in cash to donate to a local charity. The free WiFi comes from Lilypad, Time Warner Cable, Boingo, Advanced Wireless Group in collaboration with other airports that also offer wireless services. Sounds interesting, I just hope you don’t get hooked to an interesting conversation on Twitter or Facebook to actually miss a flight.
