Word has it that Verizon Wireless’ first netbook offering in the guise of the HP Mini 1151NR will be arriving on May 17th through all channels – virtual and conventional. It is also the day where Verizon’s MiFi personal hotspot drops. There is no word on pricing, though there are whispers of a $199 price tag to accompany the 2-year contract alongside a mail-in rebate. Of course, bear in mind you’ll still need to fork out anywhere from $40 to $60 monthly for data access, which means across the span of two years, you’ll still need to spend a fair bit.
