AT&T has iPhone exclusivity until 2012

MASHABLE
Apple confirmed that the original deal signed with AT&T for iPhone exclusivity was for five years.

(Mashable) -- It was speculative before given the lack of independent confirmation, but now apparently Apple has gone on record to confirm that the original deal signed with AT&T for iPhone exclusivity back in 2007 was a five-year deal.

That means at least some legal hoops would need jumping through if we're ever going to see that oft-rumored Verizon iPhone before 2012.
