In today’s installment of Mac News and Rumors, have some rumblings about the white colored iPhone 4 and more news about Verizon and AT&T stores both carrying iPads.
iPhone 4 Delays Over Colors?
There have been rumors of white iPhone 4 models popping up in New York City for about a week now even though there has been no announcement from Apple. The problem for Apple, since we haven’t seen the promised white models yet, apparently centers on parts not being up to Apple’s high standards. Regardless of the reason for the delay, there has been absolutely no word from Apple about these models since the July statement that they were coming later in 2010.
No iPads at Costco means No iPods
Looks like Steve Jobs has managed to anger yet another large money-making group for Apple in the folks from Costco Wholesale. Apparently, Costco will no longer carry Apple’s iPods after the store lost out on the recent round of iPad availabilities that went to rival Sam’s Club. Right now, the iPod Touch is in stock, but stores are selling through them and then discontinuing the line.
iPads at AT&T Stores
While you won’t get one at Costco, you can get a new iPad at your local AT&T store on October 28th. That might be awesome, except for the fact that you can get an iPad now at Target, Wal-Mart, or Sam’s Club. All three of the iPad WiFi+3G models will be at the AT&T stores this Thursday and AT&T will offer customers 3G pre-paid data plans for the device. You’ll be able to complete the on-device activation at the store as well.
iPads at Verizon Stores
Not only are AT&T stores carrying iPad modes, but Verizon stores are as well. Verizon announced that the iPad is also going to show up at its stores on October 28th, featuring a WiFi model and a Verizon MiFi 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot. You’ll be able to get access plans up to 1 GB of data for $20 per month.
United States Poker Championship at PokerStars
Tournament players should be really excited to see the 2010 United States Poker Championship (USPC) start to ramp up in Atlantic City.

The USPC takes place at the Trump Taj Mahal from November 1st to 22nd with a four-day Main Event starting on the 19th.
