It coincides well with the renewed rumor of a CDMA iPhone over the holidays. Would that be the same rumor that has been going around for ages now? .. the one about the provider in, what country was that, china or japan or something, that operates CDMA and has expressed strong interest in the CDMA iPhone?
Perhaps you're right.
On a side note, I think it's funny how everyone that talks about a CDMA iPhone always assumes it's Verizon, if its going to come to the U.S., and never includes Sprint, who as you know is also CDMA.
The bottom line is that apple doesn't talk (and quite honestly that's a good thing in the day and age of the rumor mill blogger's world) about their plans until THEY are ready to release anything.
Apple has surprised everyone in the past with their announcements an OFTEN proves these rumors to either be wrong, or out in left field as to the ACTUAL plan pending.
Personally, I think it's great that companies don't talk until they have things finalized and THEY are ready to make the announcements (rather than the old days of hints and leaks) as we all see what happens when someone gets a crazy idea in their head. The rumors fly, people get up in arms about what's coming, are often wrong, and ultimately it's the apples, comcast's, and at&t's of the world that get blamed for deceiving in the long run.
But, for me at least, I'm letting this be just what it is in my mind - a rumor and nothing more. What good is it to me knowing now rather than later if something may or may not happen. Even if a rumor, say, were to come out that an iPhone would come out on Verizon.. if I need a phone now, I'm shopping now and not waiting to see IF something happens. |

Uh, no. Because you cannot get equal service from all those providers, and those who rise to the top fall in line with each other. This article simply makes the point. |
