Now that Best Buy is selling the iPhone, it would appear that all is not quite so rosy for the consumer, who should be benefiting from the increased sales competition. Apparently, Best Buy is counting on new iPhone customers not to do any price comparisons, because they are selling the iPhone 3G Dock for a good $20.00 more than Apple itself charges.
While some of the accessories are priced the same as the Apple Store (such as the replacement headphones at $29.99), the 3G dock is inexplicably priced at $49.99. When we asked a store manager why the price was so much higher, she essentially replied that Best Buy sets their own prices. However, all is not lost, as she stated that Best Buy will match Apple Store prices providing that you can show that the price is $29.99 (with a printout of the web page, for example..).
A word to the wise — do some sanity checking on the prices before spending your hard earned cash at Best Buy…
Here is a screen cap of BestBuy.com’s price for the dock — exactly the same as the brick-and-mortar price.
Apple.com’s price:

This is nice app you share with us. Its really helpful for me thanks a lot.
I also want to share one new app with you just have a look on this.
A fluorescent firework is filling your screen. A bundle of light follows your finger. Ever changing rainbow colors come down like a never ending meteor-shower. When you double tap on the screen the little shooting stars combust into thousands of particles. The composition of colors are beautiful and you won’t get bored watching the spectacle for hours. The truly amazing thing about this application is how well the automatic generation of particles blends together with the explicit control of your finger. It feels like your action is an extension of the intelligence that the light objects posses already. It’s a true unique application that has come to the iPhone that you will not regret buying. Oh and if you want to save your art you can simply use the screen capture function (hold home & lock) of the iPhone. Those patterns make for great artistic images for Christmas cards. Let the show begin!
