Update 4pm CST: According to BGR, Verizon Wireless store managers have been told that Wednesday will be a big day and it will be a “kick off” for the new quarter, with a live Webcast at 1pm EST. Since this is the same day as the Apple media event, we’ll let your imagination run wild with this one.

The blog world is a flutter with the rumors from an “internal source” saying that At&t will lose its iPhone exclusivity this Wednesday, January 27th. HotHardware is the site that had the original leak, but there’s been no confirmation on this.

Apple has scheduled a media event for Wednesday, and some believe its to announce this, while others think its to announce one of the biggest rumors ever of an iTablet. We’ll have to wait until Wednesday to see what happens.
