The newest application allows those whom are Fios television subscribers to stream from there cable source onto the iPad over your basic Wi-Fi connection. This new service will only work in your home initially but the company eventually intends the service to become a part of Verizon’s TV-anywhere strategy. This service would use a password and username to verify you service.
This application and service will come to other tablet PCs but the company stated “We have to start the engineering somewhere, and the iPad is an ideal device for this.”
