According to reports, electronics retailer Best Buy is preparing to sell the Mac mini in stores.

Training materials on both selling and servicing the Mac mini have been distributed to the sales & service employees, with an anticipated rollout within the next few weeks.

The Mac mini was first rumored to be sold in the brick-and-mortar Best Buy stores January 30; it is already available for purchase from BestBuy.com.

Apple has had previous sales runs with Best Buy, most recently a pilot program for mac sales in stores that reportedly ended in March of 2004.

Update: Several readers note that Best Buy has already been selling Mac Mini's in Canadian Best Buys.
