Sharp Working On Tablet Devices With Verizon 3G

Looks like Sharp wants in on the tablet game too, as the company has revealed that it’s planning to launch two new tablet devices that will eventually make it stateside. These two devices will offer 5.5-inch and 10.8-inch displays, and while they’re touted as eReaders, they sport LCD touchscreens and are capable of playing audio/video content and accessing the Internet. When they’re launched in the US, Sharp will be teaming up with Verizon, and will most likely offer built-in 3G for these devices, and considering that rumors have been going around that Verizon would be offering a 10-inch tablet in the fall, things are looking good for tablet devices on Verizon. With AT&T offering Apple’s popular iPad, let’s see if Verizon will be able to find a device that will help it promote its data plans, and maybe even dethrone the iPad.
