Best Buy, Justin Bieber, Ozzy Osborne, and the new “Buy Back” Program

, Feb 7th 2011 Discuss [3]

During the Super Bowl, Best Buy featured a commercial with teen pop sensation, Justin Bieber, and heavy metal legend, Ozzy Osborne, to launch their new “Buy Back” program. The program is pretty much what it sounds like--Best Buy stores will buy back products from their customers. The catch is that there's a cost to it almost like when you pay extra for that 3-year warranty. However, the program is free right now but will cost you after February 12th and the amount depends on the type of device. Read The Full Story

The first time we saw Steve Jobs pull the iPhone 4 out of his pocket we were supposed to be able to get the smartphone in black or white colors just as we have for a while now with the iPhone 3GS.

, Feb 7th 2011 Discuss [16]

Honeycomb was shaping up so well. CES 2011 saw several new slates debut and look to offer solid competition to the iPad, and then Google's Android 2.3 launch event last week left us even more confident in the tablet-centric build. Could Motorola and Verizon bring the whole party crashing down with silly pricing for the Motorola XOOM however? With a leaked Best Buy advert tipping a sales price of $799.99, that may well be the case. Read The Full Story

A leaked document from an internal Best Buy training manual may put the national retailer in some hot water, if it turns out to be true in any capacity.

In fact, according to Best Buy, it seems that the white iPhone 4 will be landing in stores on February 27th, 2011. Read The Full Story

, Jan 15th 2011 Discuss [0]

Best Buy has added listings for three new iPad models, each tipped as "coming soon" and as having WiFi access. No mention of any 3G support is listed for any of the three SKUs - 1945674, 1945595 and 1945531 - only WiFi, making it perhaps unlikely that these are Verizon's tipped incoming CDMA iPads; instead, it could be early listings for the second-gen iPad 2.
