look unless its the latest ithingy they wont put banners up. when the blackberry playbook released it took them a week after launch to put the display up. the xoom witch launched before that only now has an endcap. the flyer got barely a wisper, the 7" tab hardly a giggle. many of the other tablets hardly get noticed, but if its a ithingy there will be balloons, banners, flyers being passed out, a free concert, free ice cream, a free fight out front before the store opens (that one is true). so unless it was called the apple igalaxy itab it wont get much more then a double take.
Best Buy showing no love for the Galaxy Tab 10.1?

Anyone find it strange that it's nearly impossible to shop for tablet accessories using the BestBuy mobile app? They have an entire category for ipad accessories, but nothing for Tabs.
Samsung has been accused of ripping off everything else Apple does. Why not rip off iProductrelease?
they dont have the marketers or the sheeple behind a samsung product that apple does. i like samsung, the tab is great and i have a wonderful flatscreen tv for playing xbox on but they don't have the cultists that apple does. the whole rip off thing has been a rock throwing fight. it doesn't matter, besides lately it seems everyone is sewing everyone else.
Best Buy in Pasadena, Ca
The one in pasadena was the complete opposite on launch day. The entire front glass subdue entrance was painted with a galaxy tab design and name.when you walk in a sigh less you to the display model and accessories were at. Once you got to the display model you were greeted by a samsung rep who was holding a spec sheet and talking about how the tab is better than other tablets. There were like 8 purple in line to play with the display model.it definitely made it a more exciting experience.
Edit: I'm not even going to make spelling and grammar changes. Still getting used to swype beta on the tab 10.1.

I've been in three Denver BBs.
Two of them did have a demo unit out for the Tab BUT the iPad was right on the main ailse that leads through the store with big signage. The Galaxy tabs were 15 feet deeper into the computer department. They were still on an endcap but for someone who didn't know to look for them, they'd never get passed the iPad display.
The third actually had them set up on that same main aisle 2 endcaps deeper in to the store from the iPads. So you still have to walk further to find them but just walking around the main 'path' you'll get to them.

My local BB has the Tab display on the first main aisle end cap, followed by a Xoom display on the next end cap, and then finally the iPad 2 display on the last end cap, so good real estate for the Tab display. I was a little surprised by it actually! There is also a new "tablet" section within the computer department that has all the other tablets available now
