No iPhone 4G, iPad on Verizon in “Immediate Future”

Many analysts reported that the fourth generation iPhone light arrive in November this year. Even Wall Street Journal proclaimed that Apple is currently developing two new fourth generation iPhone models, one of which will be compatible with Verizon’s CDMA network, which is scheduled to be released this year. Even BGR reported that Verizon Wireless is testing new Apple iPad models compatible with their CDMA cellular network, possibly on LTE 4G.

Despite all these speculations, John Johnson, a Verizon Wireless spokesperson has confirmed that there is no plan for Verizon to support the Apple mobile devices like iPhone and iPad in the U.S. in a video interview with Beet.TV that took place at the Wall Street Journal’s All Things Digital conference.

John added that Verizon is currently focusing on the Android devices and will be launching several models this year including devices which record high quality video recording capabilities with HDMI-like outputs. In addition to it Verizon will introduce its 4-G LTE network to 25-30 U.S. markets this year.  

Also this year, the company will introduce devices to connect to devices, USB-connected tongles and more.  Verizon will introduce 4-G handsets next year, he says. Most likely, EVO like android phones will make its way to Verizon network. Any thought?
