One of the worst things about trade shows is that there are so many cool products on display, yet unavailable for purchase. This can be doubly true for shows like Macworld, where so many of the vendors are smaller businesses that don't have a big retail reach.

Best Buy is hoping to remedy/capitalize on this situation by setting up a small store on the floor of the Moscone Center this year. The retailer promises to offer some of the products on display at the expo. Of course, this won't do much for all of the stuff that won't be released for a year.
