We still don't know if Best Buy's premature posting of the Motorola Xoom tablet on its site last week was an honest-to-goodness mistake or a publicity stunt, but now the mega electronics chain is taking preorders for the anticipated tablet, no foolin' around. As was previously confirmed by Motorola, the Xoom costs $800, and not $1,200 like Best Buy had temporarily posted.

A ride to Best Buy and $50 are the only two things you need to place your pre-order for HTC's upcoming 4G Thunderbolt smartphone. Other details are decidedly less concrete, but according to reports, it will be available for pickup on February 14th, otherwise known as Valentine's Day. Online chatter also has both new and upgrading pricing pegged at $250 with the now-standard 2-year service contract.

It was seven months ago to the day that Apple released the GSM version of its iPhone 4, which was supposed to be available in black and white trim. But for whatever reason, Apple hasn't been able to offer its customers the white version in all that time. That might be about to change.

Mac Rumors claims to have received a screenshot from an un-named source showing the white iPhone 4 SKU in Best Buy's database. This was initially reported as an inventory database screenie, but BGR says it's actually a snapshot of Best Buy's Employee Toolkit. The reason this matters is that in-stock dates, which the screenshot shows as February 27, 2011, usually don't represent the launch date.

In any event, it appears that the iPhone 4 in white digs will show up very soon, likely by the end of March.
