Now THIS is getting interesting. Many of us expect that the news leaks about AT&T trying to extend their exclusive with Apple and about Verizon being in talks with apple was Apple playing one off the other. Now Reuters is suggesting the same thing…

*Apple in talks with Verizon on wireless devices

* AT&T expected to offer attractive terms to keep iPhone

* Analysts see Apple driving hard bargain for iPhone

"Apple appears to be playing the top two US mobile operators AT&T Inc (TN) and Verizon Wireless against each other as it shops for the next distributor for its popular iPhone. Whether one or both operators sign a deal, analysts are in no doubt that Apple wins in the end."

 Apple using iPhone to play AT&T against Verizon?

 

Great tech AND drama? What could be better?
