The rumored iSlate tablet will have a 3G connection, and there are two carriers being considered for it, says Fox News. Apple is in talks with AT&T and Verizon, but the details are still not finalized, according to sources within the companies. According to sources within the companies, One version of the device will run on CDMA networks such as Verizon’s, and one will operate on GSM networks like that owned by AT&T.

Verizon spokesman Jeff Nelson told me the company has been considering tiered pricing for upcoming tablet devices that will use the company’s network, though Nelson wouldn’t specifically name Apple’s tablet. The data plans are said to be structured similarly to those each company currently offers for netbooks and laptops. But we’re unlikely to hear about pricing at Apple’s event next week.

“Our 3G network covers 287 million Americans,” says Verizon spokesman Jeff Nelson. “We didn’t build a network and then cross our fingers that devices would work on it. When we built our network we built it with these devices in mind. AT&T didn’t, and that’s the difference.”
