Actually, Cingular has more subscribers than anyone in the States. By several million, in fact.
For some reason, we're also not talking about the fact that the article says the exclusivity only lasts for six months. It could be that Cingular paid Apple off, and that a CDMA version is in the works. It could also just mean that Apple will go to T-mobile in 6 months. It's extremely common for one carrier or retailer to get an exclusive for a period of time. Usually it doesn't mean anything.
Either way, I get my next new Cingular phone next summer, and I'm thinking an iPhone would be a pretty sweet birthday present.
