Alex,
Sorry if someone asked you this already, but I have three phones with Verizon and have their unlimited data package. Are there plans that limit your data usage with their smart phones? Also, I noticed Verizon will now offer coverage for the I-Pad. I'm assuming you can get plans via Wi-Fi if you purchase the I-Pad. Do you know any more about this?

First, lets talk about phones. at that blogpost i linked to, you'll also see that verizon is likely to keep offering the $30/mo feature that allows unlimited data TO the phone (not to tethered devices or via hotspot. that would cost extra)
There is also info about the iPad plans, which requires the purchase of ipad + mifi from verizon... as for which of the new offerings will include access to VZW hotspot network... that hasn't been identified yet, that i know of.
Check out this page on/after 10/28 to find out about which plans include wifi network access.

does this mean they will no longer offer an unlimited data plan?

Read Alex's link and relax.
What about everyone has noticed is the 10GB plan does not seem to be available for USB modems, often called "aircards".
Verizon will start selling the iPad on the 28th but only the wifi versions, so no GPS either. They have bundles with the MiFi to compete with AT&T's 3G prepaid plans. No price breaks on the iPad.

Alex,
I'm diggin your blog. Great stuff!
Thx,
Paul
service will start on Oct. 28
Among the options rumored to become available is one that provides 10GB of data
for $80/mo
I think its a good thing that verizon realizes some folks could really use more
than 5GB of data in a month.
Other rumored pricing can be seen at my blogpost
