Marco.org: Rambling about Verizon →
To expect Apple to wait until LTE to make a Verizon-compatible iPhone, therefore, seems unlikely. LTE hasn’t been deployed anywhere yet, but the current promise is that it’s going to start being available late this year. Based on the deployment of EVDO, when might it be practical to own an LTE-only phone? 2016?
Marco is spot on with his assessment of LTE availability.

WWDC 2010 Predictions
Seeing as tomorrow is Apple’s big Worldwide Developer Conference I thought I’d tackle some of my predictions/expectations for Steve Jobs’ keynote.
Definitely iPhone, iPhone, iPhone. This is the safest bet. It’s 99% certain that the next generation iPhone will be unveiled. The summer keynote has been the traditional big reveal. Apple will spend a good bit of time hyping the...
