RadioShack Gets iPhone, Talks with Best Buy?

RadioShack, the 89-year old chain could wind up as part of Best Buy?
Even as RadioShack begins selling iPhones, a coup for any retailer (just ask all the regional CE stores that can’t sell it) it is struggling. The company with nearly 4,500 stores, is looking into putting itself on the sales block for more than $3 billion and/or a possible merger with Best Buy, reports the NY Post.
And all this backroom bargaining occurs while “The Shack” just started selling the iPhone. From March 28 to April 10, it will sell the 8 GB iPhone 3G for $95 (with a two-year AT&T Mobility contract) and the 16 GB iPhone 3GS for $195 along with a trade-in program for customers’ current phones, reports FierceWireless.
