According to AppleInsider, Best Buy is now carrying Mac minis at several retail outlets, and is expected to carry the product nationwide. This is a good move by Apple. The more retail venues that offer the Mac mini, the more likely Apple can grow its share of the market. Hopefully they can regain lost share and return to their 5% glory days.
