A tipster on the MacRumors forum leaked what appears to be a legit shot of Best Buy’s internal inventory system, showing 3 new dummy Apple SKUs in the ‘Mobile Computing’ category. My best guess is that these mysterious placeholders could very will be the 3 models of WiFi-only iPads that’s slated for a late March launch. However, we can’t rule out the possibility that these are for the rumored refreshed Core i7-based MacBook Pros.
In addition to this piece of tidbit, we have been hearing that Best Buy will be carrying the iPad. Therefore there’s a good chance that the placeholders are indeed for the iPad.
SKUs: 9755419, 9755395, 9755322.
