K I S S I N G? Maybe says the USA Today. Wasn’t Verizon very critical of Apple earlier? In fact, wasn’t there a rumor with wings that said that Verizon rejected Apple initially? Oh well.  I don’t use Verizon, but I do think it would be great for Apple to get into the CDMA users hands too.

Verizon and Apple are discussing the possible development of an iPhone for Verizon, with the goal of introducing it next year, people familiar with the situation say.

It would mark the first time Apple has produced a version of the iPhone for a CDMA wireless network, which is different from AT&T’s GSM technology. Vodafone, co-owner of Verizon Wireless, already sells the iPhone in Europe.

The New York-based telecom entered into “high-level” discussions with Apple management a few months ago, when CEO Steve Jobs was overseeing day-to-day business, these sources say. They declined to be named because they aren’t authorized to speak publicly.

What do you think? I think ultimately, it would be great for consumers and Apple to allow all the carriers to have an iPhone version once their exclusive with AT&T is up.
