Verizon Wireless is working on a tablet with Google, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal.
"We're looking at all the things Google has in its archives that we could put on a tablet to make it a great experience," Verizon Wireless chief executive Lowell McAdam told the Journal.
A Google spokesman did not address the specific rumor about a Google-Verizon tablet, and said that its Android platform could be used for a variety of things.
"Android is a free, open source mobile platform. This means that anyone can take the Android platform and add code or download it to create a mobile device without restrictions," he said in a statement. "The Android smartphone platform was designed from the beginning to scale downward to feature phones and upward to MID and netbook-style devices. We look forward to seeing what contributions are made and how an open platform spurs innovation, but we have nothing to announce at this time."
"We're letting Lowell's comments speak for themselves on this one," a Verizon spokeswoman said in an e-mail.
