Thanks to a FCC filing, we've got a glimpse of an upcoming 7-inch Android tablet from ZTE known as the V66. We knew it'd have a 1.2GHz dual-core processor running Android 3.2, but now we can confirm that the tablet, if ever brought to market, would be sold with Verizon's 4G LTE (the logo's right there on the back). There isn't much more to glean from the filing other than the inclusion of a camera, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and EV-DO and 1xRTT radios to accompany that LTE. ZTE's been talking about bringing higher-end phones to the US, and while this doesn't look like it'll be of that caliber, it will likely represent the company's entrance into the US tablet market if it can beat Sprint's V55 tablet.

Why are ZTE devices so hard to get in America — their $99 7" V9 w/Froyo was a huge hit in Australia

Because our government thinks any Chinese mobile phone manufacturer or carrier is up to no good in the US so they have had a tough time entering the market. Just read up on Huawei and the troubles they have had here.

This device isn’t necessarily for Verizon. As I recall, the “4G LTE” logo is required for all devices certified to run on Verizon’s network, even if they are being sold by one of the many rural carriers that partnered with Verizon. For all we know, it could be for Bluegrass Cellular!
