MATH = MacBook Air ToucH

Sales hmmm sounds like a new model will be released soon.

The rumors were wrong calling the IPhone 5's next model "MATH"

It's actually for the Mac Book Air.

"MATH" = MacBook Air ToucH or MacBook Air Touch Hybrid

Interesting. Tim Cook blamed the low Mac sales mostly on the iMac shortage, but I wonder if the general PC slowdown has started to affect MacBook Air sales, as well. It sounds like Best Buy got stuck with a lot of excess stock. As an authorized Apple reseller, they need Apple's consent to advertise a sale like this, so Apple must have approved it.

Amazon matches BB price

For those of you who do not pay tax through Amazon, it's matched BB prices.

$800 was the price of a Motorola Xoom. I feel bad for anyone who bought that.
