Best Buy is set to take over your local mall with small stores designed for your “life on the go”. These locations are going to be stocked with not only cell phones, but also ultra-portable notebook computers, PMPs, and of course, accessories. The upgraded Best Buy Mobile stores build on the cell-phone only model that the company started rolling out last year but will now include non-cell phone products. You know what these stores sound like? Radio Shack; well, if Radio Shack could figure out how to sell iPods and computers.
Circuit City had these as well. They tend not to work out too well when a big box tries to run the small box. Especially when your big box is in the parking lot or across the street from the mall.
