Verizon Wireless and Apple have announced the Apple iPad will be available through Verizon Wireless retail stores starting October 28th, 2010. I believe this is a positive sign that the iPhone is definitely coming to big red's network and soon. The iPads offered will be the Wi-Fi models bundled with Verizon's mobile hotspot "MiFi" with a simple $20/Month data plan that allows up to 1gb of data.
