Well, it seems that Apple is continuing the leap from selling the iPhone at just their own stores and AT&T locations to selling the device at a plethora of retailers.

The latest retailer to secure the iPhone for their inventory is RadioShack The Shack which will have the iPhone 3G and 3GS at Dallas-Forth Worth and New York City stores towards the end of this month.

So, if you want to pick up Apple’s flagship handset you now have another location to do so at.

A few days ago we let you in on some rumors that RadioShack was gearing up to completely rebrand their retail stores as The Shack. Well today a few promotional items featuring the transition have emerged.

As you can see above, they are evidentally hyping up the name change before thery get around to actually changing the branding on their stores. Furthermore, they have lauched a countdown website for “The Shack Summer Netogether” that is happening from August 6th - 8th.

Will calling themselves The Shack help bring Radio Shack to greatness? Only time will tell.

RadioShack has long been a retailer of handsets from various carriers including Sprint, AT&T and Verizon. However, a T-Mobile handset has never found its way onto a RadioShack shelf. That could all be a thing of the past as RadioShack and T-Mobile have reportedly inked a partnership.

Apparantly, starting on August 19th, RadioShack will have the myTouch 3G, along with other T-Mobile handsets, on sale in-store.

BGR reports that wireless sales currently announce for 30% of RadioShack’s total revenue, so this recent partnership with T-Mobile should come as no surprise.

Starting with December 14, this netbook will be on sale at Radioshack for a bargain price. The Acer Aspire One with integrated 3G wireless connectivity will be available for just $99.99 from Radioshack. Forgot what the Aspire One is all about? It is a 2.44 pound netbook featuring 1GB RAM, 160GB hard drive, a built-in memory card reader and it runs on Windows XP. The 3G broadband supports those portable connectivity needs of students, travellers and mobile professionals.

Peter Whitsett, RadioShack’s executive vice president said:

Many people internationally are already enjoying the portability, on-the-go connectivity and affordability of this emerging new technology. We are proud to introduce this concept in the U.S. by offering a netbook with integrated 3G functionality in addition to full Wi-Fi capability.

And here’s the catch! You will have to sign a 2 year AT&T Data Connect mobile broadband service agreement if you want it for only $99.99.

When was the last time a scanner was on your Christmas list? Approved on the FCC’s list a couple of days ago was this scanner from RadioShack. Identified as Scanning Receiver AMWUB351, the confidentiality request has the following note: “Because public disclosure of the material might be harmful if information used in this application were used to modify the unit to illegally scan or tune Cellular Radio Service channels, this letter is to remind all persons involved that scanning receivers are automatically protected under 47CFR Section 0.457(d)(1)(ii) that the following be should withheld.” It, of course, refers to the circuit description and schematic diagrams.

The scanner requires a mounting area that measures 50mm x 180mm x 135mm. It is powered either by a wall outlet or your vehicle’s cigarette lighter. The antenna length can be modified according to the frequencies you want to monitor. You can listen in onto the CB band, police (fire/emergency), aircraft and HAM band services.

Nifty little addition to your car, if you’re tired of your iPod or Sirius satellite radio. No word on the pricing or availability yet.
