It has been a busy day here in iPhone land.  The latest bit of rumor news comes fron the Boy Genius report.  According to their "reliable source" the iPhone will be available later this year from Best Buy and Radio Shack.   The deals are already secured and the iPhones are en route. 

This isn't as big a stretch as we originally thought because both Best Buy and Radio Shack already sell AT&T phones and activation plans in the store.  Best Buy even sells Apple Computers and iPods while Radio Shack is an authorized iPod dealer. 

They sell iPods, they sell AT&T plans.  Why not?  This makes perfect sense. 

 

10 million iPhones?  Probably by September!

FINALLY! I've been waiting for this for a long time! I hated the iPhone being limited to Apple and AT&T as far as retail goes. I cannot wait!

if apple lets stores take care of returns and problems without having to go to a apple store or send it in.

This rules! An iPhone in every pot and a MacBook Pro on every lap!

Does Radio Shack still ask for your address if you buy batteries?

You mean phone number?

You mean mother's maiden name?

I thought after years of complaints Radio Shack finally got the message and did away with this annoying practice. Didn't they build an advertising campaign around it?
