4G for iPad 3?

With the release of the next generation iPad supposedly nearing, rumors of this iDevice are popping up left-right-and-center. These rumors range from the next generation iPad having Retina Display to it featuring a quad core A6 chip.
Yet another rumor that has been circulating is whether or not the next generation iPad will feature 4G (LTE) compatibility. While this has been a heavily debated rumor during the last few weeks, it looks like 4G (LTE) connectivity has just been confirmed.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Verizon and AT&T will be selling a version of the next generation iPad that will be compatible with their 4G (LTE) networks. The news apparently comes from people who are familiar with the matter and they have also mentioned we will indeed see a release of the next generation iPad during the first week of March.

Verizon Communications Inc. and AT&T Inc. will sell a version of the coming iPad that runs on their newest fourth-generation wireless networks, according to people familiar with the matter, as the battle to cash in on big investments in mobile broadband heats up.
Apple Inc. appears to be planning to announce the latest version of its tablet computer in the first week of March, according to another person briefed on the matter.

Whether or not other carriers like T-Mobile USA and Sprint will sell the iDevice was not concluded, but if this information is indeed correct it looks like this is one less rumor we will see being debated upon as we approach the announcement of the iPad 2S/iPad 3. Are you excited about the next generation iPad receiving 4G (LTE) connectivity?
