Little Demand for Verizon iPads

In the multi-billion dollar marketing war between AT&T and Verizon, one fact that many people are not aware of is that Verizon's 3G data network is not so great.  And while every iPad sold out on launch day, some Q&A with Apple employees in the line and at the store told me that demand for Verizon's iPad was "reluctant" and "they'll take it if that's their only 3G choice."

In general, WiFi-only 16 and 32GB iPads remain the core of the business, but for people who are buying 3G, most are opting for the AT&T choice, with HSPA and global roaming.
