We have heard it reported today in the Wall Street Journal that Verizon is confirming that it has teamed up with Google to produce a Tablet which will take on the iPad hosted by Verizon’s rival AT&T.

Verizon was quoted as saying “We’re looking at all the things Google has in its archives that we could put on a tablet to make it a great experience”.

There is no news or indication if it will be Android or Chrome OS or what any specs are. There are also no details on any timing.

We do suspect that Google will work on this as quickly as they can in order to get ahead of their other rival Apple. With the recent spats about Flash between Apple and other companies we see them jumping to Google quickly. And with the Android gaining significant ground over the iPhone, this new tablet could give the iPad a run for its money.

We do think that this will be the final nail in the coffin for any hopes of Verizon getting an iPhone or the iPad 3G but in our opinion the iPad 3G is a waste of time when the Wi-Fi only version does everything you need.

Watch this space for future developments.
