I wouldn't scratch it off my list... I know you hear rumours about verizon's iphone since 2007 (first iphone), but this year its not too far stretched. Verizon is updating their tech (and so is AT&T btw) and both of them should have 4g running (in some places) end of this year/beginning of next so the new verizon tech could techniqually support the iphone. The only thing that was stopping apple (other than at&t contract) is having to develop two diff iphones for the carries, which inc the cost. Now they won't have to do that, so who knows...
