Best Buy selling Apple Products [Updated]
More reports indicate that previous rumors of Apple sales at Best Buy will materialize soon.
BestBuy will utilize fulltime Apple Reps to provide sales support for Apple items. The current plan is to deploy this plan to a select number of Best Buys, so not every store will carry the Apple products initially.
While the official launch date remains in August, some stores may start to sell Apple items as early as Monday.
Update:
Initial stores to carry Apple's Product line are focused in California and Illinois, with scattered stores in other states (AZ, VA, NY, MD, MN).
Products to be carried include the eMac, iMac (15" and 17"), PowerMac (G4), iBook (12"), PowerBook (12" and 15"), iPod, as well as selection of accompanying accessories and software titles.
Again, some stores may start selling Apple products as early as this week.
