Well, there are a lot of Best Buy locations to stock once you go that route; three devices per store is going to be pushing a thousand...and every display model is a device you're not going to be able to sell at full price. Entourage (and more importantly, Entourage's capital providers) would have to be really confident that going that route would increase sales by a lot. It's not like Apple, where they can tell the factory in China they want 1000 extra iPads produced in the next two weeks and they'll pay for them later; everyone dealing with a startup like Entourage probably wants money up front.
