Over at MacRumors.com, there’s a bunch of talk about The Boy Genius Report’s claim that Best Buy and Radio Shack will begin to carry the 3G iPhone. Although I have no idea why Radio Shack would get involved with this (who goes there to buy anything more than a funky cable nowadays, anyway?), I can actually see The Blue Monster scoring it under everyone’s nose.

According to an AP article I dug up, Best Buy’s purchase of a 50% stake in Carphone Warehouse, a European cell phone distributor that Best Buy had previously teamed up with to help create Best Buy Mobile, was completed on Monday. Where this ties in, of course, is that Carphone Warehouse is an authorized iPhone distributor overseas. Add to that the love that Apple has been getting from Best Buy in the recently, and you may have an actual story here.
