In the US, the CDMA is in it's 3rd generation while GSM is still somewhere in the 2 - 2.5 range.

"EDGE can carry data speeds up to 236.8 kbit/s for 4 timeslots (theoretical maximum is 473.6 kbit/s for 8 timeslots) in packet mode and will therefore meet the International Telecommunications Union's requirement for a 3G network, and has been accepted by the ITU as part of the IMT-2000 family of 3G standards. It also enhances the circuit data mode called HSCSD, increasing the data rate of this service."

So when, Steve Jobs talks about ATT working on 3G, he is talking about 3rd generation GSM (GSM is the G in EDGE).
