Well, while wandering around a local Best Buy [BBY] store, I found myself standing at the Apple [AAPL] kiosk, in front of: an iPad; a 11.6″ MacBook Air; and a 13.3″ MacBook Air. So, of course, I just had to start meanderingly playing with the three devices, each in turn. Was very interesting to see [...]
Best Buy
Earlier today, I was strolling through a Best Buy [BBY] store, meandering through the games section (as most adults, and even some children, tend to do), when I began noticing several DVD-cased PC games with a blue-banded cover along the spine (the top 1/5-1/4 and the bottom 1/5-1/4).

As was mentioned here several weeks ago, Apple [AAPL] and Best Buy [BBY] had inked a channel deal for the latter to start selling the former’s iPhone product at their retail outlets, to start this month. Today was the launch, and it was clearly advertised in the circulars that went out to the public. However, [...]
Hot on the tail (tales?) of Apple’s [AAPL] latest news of iPhone connectivity problems and App Store concerns, the Palm [PALM] Treo Pro was announced yesterday, followed today by the RIM [RIMM] BlackBerry Bold. Huh? The Apple iPhone 3G The iPhone 3G has been out the longest, and it has been steadily gaining developer acceptance [...]
Perhaps getting less fanfare than the other (more ominous) news mentioned here earlier, there was news reported by CNET that Best Buy [BBY] will start selling the Apple [AAPL] iPhone at their retail outlets starting this September. This leverages the existing relationship between Apple and Best Buy, which involves an Apple section in many Best Buy [...]
