Apple Thoughts: Vodafone to Sell iPhones in Ireland and UK

"Vodafone has announced plans to sell the iPhone in both Ireland and the United Kingdom. As sales will only begin in early 2010, few details are available, though via the web interested buyers can sign up for more information as it becomes available."

This after Orange announced it was also going to be selling the iPhone after O2's exclusivity contract apparently ended, bringing the total retailers for your UK iPhone needs to three. Well, I wonder what is going to happen in 2010 with AT&T when their exclusivity clause runs out with Apple? I think the writing is on the wall, based on what is happening in the UK. Granted, they have a bit of a different legal view in terms of cell carriers, but AT&T isn't the only game in town for Apple. What are your thoughts?
