In reply to Louis Wheeler. Im pretty sure you have no idea what you are talking about. I have the Motorola Droid and I can multitask in the way that you are stating. So there is no reason the iPhone wouldn't be able to.

In reply to tt222.

hi tt222, I appreciate you using the phrase "journalism" with my blog – I consider that a compliment.

To be even remotely productive with yourself, could you provide the specific correction you see that I need to make to the article.

And despite the "junk" I put out each day, you must be visiting my site daily to know that junk is actually being spit out each day – so for that, as well, I thank you.

I seriously doubt that Apple is designing a CDMA iPhone for Verizon. It is far better for Apple to keep on doing what they are doing: waiting for the technology to improve.

A CDMA iPhone would get nothing but complaints because it can't multitask between the mobile phone and data. You have to ring off on a caller in order to look up a restaurant for the two of you to meet at.

Is this considered journalism? What happened to spell check these days..this site spits out junk and more junk every day.

Actually, the way that Verizon is upgrading to LTE is to add it on top of their current CDMA/EVDO network. So even if Apple was going to do an LTE iPhone for Verizon in 2011, it would still need to be CDMA/EVDO capable. The voice protocol specification for LTE isn't even completed yet so you will be doing CDMA voice on Verizon for a while even if you are lucky enough to live in an area with 4G data.

If Apple is going to release an iPhone for Verizon, they are going to have to produce a different iPhone that is not on the GSM standards.

First of all Apple is not working with Verizon to obtain the Iphone. Second do you not think it would be in the best interest of AT&T to hand over a large sum of cash to prevent this even if it were true?

Apple might be designing an iPhone for a CDMA network, but that will be for Asian markets; its impractical to make a Verizon iPhone when they will be switching to a LTE network in a year. So my guess is that we will see a Verizon iPhone in 2011.

Huh. Who new America only had two phone companies: at&t and Verizon. Somebody should tell T-mobile, Sprint, U.S. Cellular, Cellular One, Virgin Mobile, etc. that they don't exist.

Apple has never stated that they were working on an IPhone that will run on Verizon's network. Furthermore, AT&T just announced that they are blocking all employee vacations for the month of June, probably because of the upcoming new IPhone announcement in June. We will be seeing a Verizon IPhone one day, but it ain't happening this year.

The iPhone will one day work on Verizon, but that will be the day Apple unlocks the iPhone to all carriers. Apple will not switch from AT&T to Verizon or just give the iPhone to both of them. They will unlock it to other smaller carriers as well. Any carrier that has a compatible network will be included. It might be a while, but I believe it will happen eventually.

"Apple has already stated that they are working on the iPhone development updates needed so the iPhone can run efficiently on the Verizon network."

I missed that one. Please provide a link!
