RadioShack to sell iPods at retail stores
RadioShack announced it will begin selling Apple's iPod, after it agreed to become an Authorized Apple Reseller. The electronics retailer said that it will offer all variations of the iPod, including the Shuffle, Nano, and the video iPods. The company also said it will continue to offer dozens of the most popular accessory items for use with iPods, such as external speakers, docking stations, decorative and protective skins, travel cases, cables and power solutions. RadioShack said that each of its 5,000 stores and a select number of dealer stores are expected to carry each iPod model, including both white and black models of the Nano and video iPod.
The iPod and available accessories will be featured in a branded iPod section within each store "where customers can compare and contrast players, as well as see and discover the types of accessories that are available to enhance the overall functionality and enjoyment of the iPod lifestyle." The company will only sell iPods through its retail stores and its direct ordering system, while iPod accesories will also be offered through its online store.

semi off-topic, seems to me that analysts who keep claiming the iPod market is nearly saturated, don't get it. They assume (seems to me...) that everyone who owns an iPod will not buy another one, at least for a long time. Wrong! I think many consumers will replace their iPod after 2 or 3 years. I bought a 4th gen white 20gb iPod last fall and it is already hopelessly outdated! No color screen, no video...
