iPhone at Radio Shack?
March 24th 2008
iPhone rumors are a dime-a-dozen and the people repeating them generally sell for even less, especially when purchasing in bulk.
Then again, it's not every day that a "respectable" journalist writing for a "respectable" publication (Ed--Few if any of us are respectable, just ask our spouses) spawns a new rumor that actually seems to make sense.
David Zeiler of the Baltimore Sun is just such a hack, writing for just such a pub.
David was at his local Radio Shack recently when he half-jokingly asked the person helping him why they didn't sell the iPhone. He was surprised when the associate earnestly replied:
"They told us we were getting them in January," he replied, "But we haven't seen any yet."
Radio Shack is an authorized AT&T reseller and they also sell iPods, so the iPhone selling through the nation's largest electronics chain isn't far fetched...
What's your take?
