    Won't happen.
    At least not this year.

    Just coming from the same people who were sure Apple was going to announce the Verizon iPhone during the [iPad] event months ago.

    Well Of course it won't happen this year. Apple extended their contract with AT&T until the end of the year.

    My wife and I have been tempted to switch to Verizon when it makes sense to (contracts), based on the fact that in our area AT&T coverage SUCKS and Verizon is everywhere. I wouldn't do it for the CDMA iPhone though. If we did switch, it would be for one of the Android models ;)

    The so-called CDMA order was for the China Unicom version of the new iPhone...and it's TD-CDMA - meaning non US flavored. Get over it. Apple has been the company to kill the floppy, Flash, and even the optical drive in some of its devices due to all of them being "old Technology". What makes you think they will adopt a dying telecom technology (US CDMA) when everyone is going to LTE.

    And another thing, Apple has never been about market share. They are about profit...plain and simple. They are about a premium product at a premium price. That's why their laptops/desktops are never discounted and much higher in price than PCs. If they wanted market share, they would lower their laptops, desktops, and iPods to competitor prices and they would instantly have a majority market share position. But then their products would not be distinguished as a premium brand anymore. It's kind of like designer clothing - for all the non business folks in the house wishing for a Verizon iPhone. You'll get one...but that will be in 2011-2012 depending on Verizon widespread rollout of LTE.
