Google Working With Verizon On Chrome OS Tablet

According to the Wall Street Journal, Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam has confirmed that they are, indeed working with Google on a tablet device set to compete directly with the Apple iPad. This, on top of the 5 year exclusivity deal with AT&T may finally lay rest to the rumors that the iPhone will be coming to The Big Red any time before 2012. This is yet another nail in the coffin of Google and Apple's relationship.

We don't know much about the Google tablet just yet, but we do know now that it'll be paired with Verizon's excellent network. And, based on Bloomberg's report, it will be running Android, not Google's Chrome OS (concept video above).
