Verizon Working Together With Google On A Tablet Device

In a recent interview, Verizon chief, Lowell McAdam, confirmed that the carrier is busy working on a tablet device with Google. Technical details of this tablet weren’t mentioned, but a Verizon spokesperson confirmed that the tablet will be powered by Google’s Android OS instead of Chrome OS. Considering that Apple’s iPad is more or less backed by AT&T in the US, it will really be interesting to see if a Verizon+Google tablet would make these two devices slug it out with each other. What features would you want such a tablet to offer?
