today best buy announces some initiative to sell music with real and SNDK.

Interesting because I have noticed that Best Buy can't seem to get its act together on the Mac sales. Other, newer retail arrangements like Circuit City are firing on all cylinders with Mac. Best Buy still doesn't have any macbooks in stock other than one Pro model (they did just get the iMacs and Mac Pro but a lot of models are backordered).

Maybe Best Buy and apple are souring on their partnership. I don't believe for a minute BB doesn't want mac, Mac is the only computer really selling right now.

Apple pulls out of some retailers

Apple has decided to withdraw from retailers who are not willing to commit more resources to sales of Macintosh products, the company said.

Macbooks finally on 24hr delivery at the apple store. After how many months? (5 mos actually since MBs were released in May).

And I'll be danged, even BEST BUY has a few. BB hasn't had macbooks other than one of the high end pros (for MONTHS). I still think something is going on with Apple and BB because other resellers like Circuit City have ramped much faster.
