Best Buy News

Best Buy is giving a Samsung Galaxy tablet to customers who buys a new large Samsung television, in a deal that might encourage tablet shoppers to try something other than an iPad.

Best Buy plans to sell a Wi-Fi version of the Flyer, HTC's first Android-based tablet, on Sunday for $500.

Best Buy has temporarily restricted sales of the iPad 2, as it faces supply shortages and prepares for an "upcoming promotion."

Best Buy will soon sell the HTC Flyer tablet, in a move suggesting the device maker is widening distribution to capitalize on rivals' supply shortages in Japan.

Research in Motion will officially launch its PlayBook tablet on April 19, betting big on the device to reinvigorate the company's presence in the highly-competitive mobile market.

Shortages of the iPad 2 raise concerns about international launch plans, but could create opportunities for competitors to meet demand.

Apple's new iPad 2 sold out within hours of its debut this weekend, raising already optimistic sales projections and cementing the company's market dominating position.

Best Buy is considering giving employees a variety of tablets, including the iPad, to use, as part of its "Connected Store" program and a move to get customers hands-on experience with the devices.

Best Buy, Wal-Mart and Sam's Club are all planning to sell the iPad 2 when it's released on March 11, according to people familiar with the matter, as Apple widens its distribution to fight off Android-based challengers.

Electronics retailer Best Buy is expected to stock the highly-anticipated Motorola Xoom tablet on February 24.

Motorola plans to launch the Xoom, its first Android-based tablet, on February 17, according to a leaked inventory sheet from retailer Best Buy.

Best Buy is in talks with Research in Motion to carry the PlayBook, the BlackBerry maker's new tablet computer, as the retailer looks to stock up its lineup for the holiday season.
