Bloomberg is reporting today that Apple and Verizon have made a deal to bring the iPhone 4 to the US’ largest wireless carrier.
AT&T has exclusively been home to the iPhone since its original launch in 2007, and rumors of Verizon getting the device have cropped up every few months.
The device will be available in January, with pre-orders likely starting at Christmas.
Apple recently sold 1.7 million iPhone 4 in just three days of availability, the company’s strongest launch ever, by far.
This is still not confirmed by Apple or Verizon, so take it as rumor for now. But this rumor may finally have legs.
We will keep you updated.

Nintendo has updated the Wii Menu again this week, releasing version 4.3, in an effort to target homebrew and piracy on the popular console.
Posted to Nintendo’s support site alongside the update: “Because unauthorized channels or firmware may impair game play or the Wii console, updating to Wii Menu version 4.3 will check for and automatically remove such unauthorized files.”
That being said, if you actively use Homebrew channels on your Wii, updating to version 4.3 may not be the best option for you, just yet.
If you do not use any homebrew on the console, the update brings some “behind the scenes enhancements,” as well, for improved system performance.

Because unauthorized channels or firmware may impair game play or the Wii console, updating to Wii Menu version 4.3 will check for and automatically remove such unauthorized files. In addition, there are some behind the scenes enhancements that do not affect any prominently-used features or menus but will improve system performance.
