CDMA iPhone for Verizon this summer?

[shigzeo]

If you've been put off of the iPhone because of its exclusive contract with AT&T, no one would blame you. But the WSJ reckons Apple are working on another iPhone which will work on CDMA networks, ala Verizon in the USA.

Any thoughts on the matter?

Apple controls AT&T, since the iPhone is pretty much the only reason AT&T is still around.
So Apple can do whatever they want.

Haha! Well, I wonder how it will affect Korea if at all. The article mentions that CDMA is off and about in Japan and Korea, but will/when Korea adopts the new iPhone, will it open other networks? The iPhone is pretty popular here, but is still a somewhat minor player, though I see a lot of silly accelerometer-induced movements whilst on the train!
