As you know, my IPOD was taken out of my office. I was debating on getting another IPOD, settling with my satellite radio/online listening or waiting on an IPHONE.
The IPHONE won't be out for Verizon until 2010. Oh, well.
I just ordered another IPOD today (120 GB Classic).
That would be interesting though since Verizon uses a different technology. Apple would need to design new iphones that run on CDMA network.
Supposedly, Verizon is going to start changing to an LTE network in 2010, but this would still require a chip that the iPhone doesn't have. Maybe the next model would be compatible.

Yeah...what this guy said. Very soon At&t and VZW (and I think T-mobile) will be going to LTE as their 4G celluar protocol. Next gen iPhones should support this network by default since it is what At&t will be using. I could very well see the iphone traveling over to VZW when this happens. CDMA is on the way out.
Well, my aunt says.. (and she works for verizon) they had a shot at iphone before AT&T my understanding is they turned it down.. caused apple wanted too much..
Not a big surprise really.. that's 2 times it's been shot down.. lol

They won't get it in 2010 either. AT&T will do whatever they have to do to extend their exclusive with Apple. The Iphone is too lucrative for them to give that up.

It's not AT&T's choice. Apple is losing market share to RIM because the iphone is only available on one carrier, while the blackberry is available on all 4 of the largest carriers in NA. The latest figures released show RIM is ahead of Apple in smartphone sales.
Apple definitely wants to work out a deal with verizon since they are the number 1 carrier in the US. But they won't build one based on CDMA technology so verizon will need to roll-out their LTE technology across all the major markets first. We'll see if that happens in 2010.
