Again—seriously? You can't compare one of the country’s largest electronics retail chains with a guy buying up iPads by the dozens and selling them on a gamer forum. Selling through Best Buy is clearly a strategic partnership that’s been negotiated as a component of their larger retail strategy. The guy buying iPads is not. Sure Best Buy's a middle man, but the point is that Apple can do whatever they want. There is no discussion about whether they should be allowed to do it or not. The fact that they bring on Best Buy as a middle man doesn't mean they somehow have to let this guy skim some cream off the top too. They haven't released the iPad overseas yet and what he’s doing is in direct contradiction to their launch plans.
