Verizon Airs New iPad 2 Ad Showcasing 3G Connectivity

In a rather unusual move, Verizon has produced an iPad 2 ad of their very own which plugs the 3G capabilities of the iPad 2 models currently available through Verizon’s mobile network.

The full text of the new commercial is as follows:

It’s faster, thinner, and lighter, and with the power of Verizon, you can stay connected almost anywhere. Let’s say you want to download a bestseller at the beach…done. Or, if you want to stay connected when you’re miles away from Wi-Fi…no problem. You can even tweet when you’re nowhere near your followers. And you can post pictures too. So, what do you think?

I’ll take it.

Apple typically handles advertising for their products themselves, occasionally showing carrier branding within a commercial, but it is unusual for a carrier to release their own ad promoting Apple’s iOS devices. You can check out the full ad below:
