Apple (AAPL) and Verizon (VZ) are in talks about selling two new wireless devices, BusinessWeek reports. This follows up -- and contradicts -- an earlier report from USA Today that Verizon was planning to offer Apple's iPhone as early as next year.
According to BusinessWeek, the devices are a less-expensive "iPhone lite" and a bigger "media pad" that "would let users listen to music, view photos, and watch high-definition videos" as well as offering wi-fi calling. This sounds a lot like the tablet that Apple is supposedly developing, which we've been calling the "iPod touch HD."
