As first reported by ThinkSecret, Apple and Best Buy are in talks to bring Apple's products back into the national retailer.

Earlier this month, insiders confirmed that the two companies are still considering a plan where Best Buy would sell Apple products, and Apple would staff the stores with its own employees to help boost sales.

A recent report indicates that the Apple's return to Best Buy could take place as early as August 3rd, 2003. Best Buy has been carrying Apple's iPod. This new deal would presumably include more hardware -- though details are not available at this time.
