I had lunch with a buddy last Friday who works for Rogers in the new hardware aquistion department, he had picked one up so I goofed around with it for a bit. I found it heavier than I expected but the screen was real nice. The funny thing was I asked him if Rogers bought it for him ... nope ... so I asked what kind of discount they got from Apple ... zero discount .. full price ... apparently they went to Best Buy and offered to buy 250 of them .. they were told fine ... but no discount. So the market is still uber hot for these.

It's not just Best Buy, Apple has full control over pricing with every reseller. The only time you'll get a discount is if you get a teacher / student discount (which is actually a pretty decent discount).
The markup on Apple hardware is very, very small.. that's why resellers push peripherals, software and warranties so hard.

I admit... I just don't get it. It's like going back to one of these in size:
Why the heck make a BIG IPhone? where the f**k are people going to put it when walking around?
...Oh, right... it is a laptop. That you can't upgrade. You can't add memory, you can't replace a defective or worn battery, you can't buy anything except Apple product to add onto it. Basically... it is a big IPhone with some laptop capability.

Agreed .. Rogers would normally just deal with the vendor but Apple shot them down so that is why they tried the Best Buy route ... I just found it funny that even with an offer to buy something like 200K+ worth of product the discount was zero.
