Run Windows on Mac OS X with no reboot!“Apple and Verizon are rumored to be in negotiations for a summer 2010 CDMA iPhone launch, [but] the nation’s largest wireless carrier and the handset maker are believed to be at odds over pricing,” Neil Hughes reports for AppleInsider.

“In a new note to investors Tuesday morning, Maynard J. Um of UBS Investment Research said that a new iPhone is expected to launch in mid-2010.
