For the latest, Apple is trying to strike a deal with both AT&T and Verizon for its rumored tablet’s wireless data service. Countdown for Apple’s new device is on and the device is all set for a launch in less than a week. According to Fox News, reports from unknown sources suggest that Apple plans to allow its users to choose their preferred wireless service that works on their tablet. It could be interpreted that Apple is releasing two versions of its tablet device for AT&T and Verizon, as both the services rely on different technology  .

Apple’s tablet is said to Wi-Fi support, along with wireless data over the company’s cell network, and free Wi-Fi at Verizon hotspots. However, there have been no discussions on how much the service will cost customers. According to Verizon spokesman, Jeff Nelson the company would be introducing a tier-type pricing for tablet services. Having said that, it didn’t include Apple’s rumored device.

In a similar way, AT&T is yet to offer any additional details except that its wireless network would be much better positioned to handle heavy wireless data usage.

With all said and done the Cupertino based company haven’t confirmed the existence of Apple’s fabled tablet. For now all eyes are on Apple’s special media event on January 27 - widely expected date for the launch of Apple’s tablet computer.
