Verizon To Allow Free Mobile Hotspot Tethering With The New iPad [Verizon iPads Will Have Free Mobile Hotspot Access, AT&T Not To Allow iPad Tethering] | TFTS
Verizon�s customer service team claimed that new iPads bought with a Verizon 4G connection would be allowed to tether to other devices and share the data connection, and they later clarified that by saying that all of their tablet data plans include mobile hotspot access. So there will be no extra cost.04-02-12 07:49 AMLike 0 - kbz1960Doesn't MatterIt ain't necessarily so.

Bridging, for me, is FREE AND UNLIMITED.
My BlackBerry phone plus my BlackBerry PlayBook with unlimited data on BOTH is $68 a month. Can't beat that with a phone and tab combo. I've done the math. I love saving money so I researched.Last edited by chrisy520; 04-02-12 at 08:03 AM.

Your BlackBerry isn't "free" either. Yes, if you're already carrying (and paying for) BlackBerry service, there is no additional cost to Bridge. But "no additional cost" does not always equal "free," and this is an example.04-02-12 08:09 AMLike 0 - ChrisySeeker of the WayFree or at no additional cost. I'm still not paying an EXTRA $30-80 a month for data on a tab. You can try to spin it all you want. When I use my BlackBerry PlayBook data I don't pay more. I pay $0 more a month for tablet data.
Why would I get an iPad Touch if I needed or not wanted a tab? Not sure how that made it into the convo.04-02-12 08:12 AMLike 0 -
That is what feature phones are for.04-02-12 05:02 PMLike 0 - iOS has skype. Have used it myself. I referred play book since it has the os which the next gen blackberry is to be based on. I assume that you too agree that bb10 is the way to go instead of sticking with current BBOS.
As for the multimedia services, I agree with your statements. But they are already available in the other platforms today. I am just suggesting that the points which you mentioned are not a selling factor for majority of the people.
Or, have I completely misunderstood your post ?
My point is that Apple ships it's iOS devices with native support for video chat. They support Skype, sure, but they don't rely on it to deliver a great mobile experience. It's not written in stone for RIM to have to rely on Skype either.
BB10 is a must happen for RIM.
Smartphone features don't sell phones, great advertising and a cohesive marketing strategy does. Consumers bought iPhones because they were novel. Consumers bought Androids because they were novel. RIM in the face of these novel competitors was no longer novel because the new novelty was apps, not email. The playing field has stabilized such that RIM, with BB10 and effective positioning can set the tenor again, and dictate the market.

Its hard to consider something a fad when the industry is successfully moving in that direction, and has been for several years now. When exactly do you anticipate "the trend to fade" exactly? Also its not fair to say these other devices aren't capable of communication.
