It was widely reported that Best Buy was sitting on over 200,000 pc before IMB enacted their drastic price cut, but the fire sale has come and gone, and that would normally be that. Instead, a notice in Best Buy’s Employee Toolkit system shows that their contentious relationship with the TouchPad may not be over just yet.
The image, sent to Droid Matters by a Best Buy insider, indicates that Best Buy stores will once again begin to receive TouchPad shipments. Due to the swarms of bargain-hunters last time round, employees are being instructed to stick to a ticket system and take down the information of the interested parties that come their way.
While it’s possible the notice has been pushed out just in time to make a big splash on the front cover of the Sunday circular, you shouldn’t hold your breath. Different areas tend to have different shipping schedules, but if this holds true, it’s more likely that the units will begin trickling back into stores during the middle of the week. At this point, it’s still unknown whether the notice only applies to some stores or the whole lot of them, but thanks to a bit of corporate foresight, your nearest store may soon have a new recording in their phone system that could clear up the specifics.

HP TouchPads Slated For Return To Best Buy?
能再翻一下这句吗?
翻译:惠普TouchPad即将回归Best Buy?
说明一下:
slate做动词时的多个义项中,有以下两个义项:
1、提名为候选
2、预定(时间)、定于(时间)
因为此处并无候选之意,就应该是第二个义项了。
另外:Best Buy是美国的一家大型连锁电子产品商场。
HP touchpad是一种平板电脑,至少在外观和用途上跟Ipad有些类似。技术上当然差别很大。
