A Leaked internal documents Shows the Verizon's 4G plans, and it's mostly stuff we've already heard 5-12Mbps down, aircards before smartphones, and plans to roll out in 30 cities in 2010

This documents dated this week show the company's still on track to serve up 100 million connections by the end of the year, and a pair of independent tipsters have just sent us pics of Verizon computers ready and waiting for those precious LTE SIM cards. Furthermore, the docs also claim that the planned LTE isn't just fast, it's got a lag-destroying 30ms latency too, and fans of wider wireless computing can expect 4G tablets of some sort in 2011 as well.

LTE (Long Term Evolution), is the latest standard in the mobile network technology tree that previously realized the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSxPA network technologies. It is a project of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), operating under a name trademarked by one of the associations within the partnership, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute.

Market research firm comScore has released some very interesting figures that show Google's Android platform surging up the U.S. market share rankings with an increase of 4% in the first 3 months of this year. A 4% increase is notable in and of itself of course, but what makes this increase particularly interesting is that Android is the only major smartphone OS in the U.S. that didn't see a decline in its market share during the same period. RIM, for example, saw its 42.1% share dip 0.4% to 41.7% and Apple saw a larger decline of 1% in the same period. Of course Android's market share as a whole still lags behind both RIM and Apple, indeed Apple commands almost double the share of Android and RIM is still by and far the leader of the pack. However, these figures would seem to suggest a significant swing in favour of Android, but caution is also advised due to the fact that these figures are pre-iPhone 4. When the next set of quarterly results are made known later in the year the iPhone 4, along with major Android releases like the EVO, may have had enough of an impact to see these figures turned on their head, or perhaps not if the figure of 77% of iPhone 4 buyers being existing iPhone owners is to be believed

RIM's allegedly forthcoming Blackberry tablet has once again been discussed in public. There was also the prediction that Marvell (not the comic books company) who created the reference designs for the OLPC tablet will be using its components in the making of RIM's tablet. Such components would seemingly include

• 1 GHz Armada processor, 512 SDRAM
• 1080p video playback
• 14 MP camera
• support for 3D graphics
• 8.9" TFT touch screen

That's quite Excellent specs and we all very hungry for battery power it has to be said, so how much of that will make it into the finished product is anyone's guess at this stage. It's worth pointing out at this stage that these specs, whilst fitting in with the previously revealed notion that the Blackberry tablet's design was in something of a state of flux. RIM also saying that the release schedule is being brought forward so that the tablet will be on sale before the year is out.
