Mike Fallenstein has arranged with BestBuy for a BestBuy rep (Colin O'Driscoll) to come talk to us.  He will talk and demo about tablets.  For those of you wondering what happened to the other mobile items (phone), that's been pushed back to November because they believe they have a full 1.5 hours of presentation easily on each topic.
