It turns out that the rumors of Best Buy to sell the iPad at launch were true after all. It was last week when Best Buy’s internal inventory system was leaked showing alleged iPad dummy SKUs.

At the Goldman Sachs annual tech conference in San Francisco today, Tim Cook, Apple’s COO revealed that besides directly from Apple Stores, one can get an iPad from selected retailers such as “Best Buy” and possibly AT&T. Internationally, Apple Premium Resellers will also carry the iPad in stores.

“Over time it will expand.” But “Initially it will be around places with really great assisted sales,” said Tim cook.

It was also revealed that the Apple executive personally had an iPad for about 6 months now.
