Best Buy and Apple - Together Again?
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.

I dunno if I like this. Is it likely that Best Buy sales staff know anything about Apple stuff? I guess it is a good development for those not located near an Apple Store.

I would be happy if they had a deal with Best Buy. That way I could go there to get my Apple gear instead of CompUSA.

People WILL buy Macs at Best Buy. This is a smart move. Everytime I visit a store remotely related to electronics/computing that doesn't carry Apple wares I always make a point to mention to the manager that I came to their store EXPECTING they would carry Apple and leaving disappointed that they don't.

I know this is a bit off topic, but my CompUSA really stinks. They always have Apple products mislabed. :mad:
