Sounds like someone needs to Start-Up a showroom for electronics. Im imagining that the model would be to charge flat rate fees to device manufacturers for floor space on the showroom. If you remove the need to drive revenue from end user purchases it wouldn't matte where they actually buy.

They have a few stores like this in the Bay Area. I think it's a great idea, but I haven't been to one yet.

They're interesting. The one by me feels like a sharper image with 20 products, but they're fairly high quality/price. They seem to have about 20% turnover of new products every time I drop in which is maybe every two months or so. The products seems somewhat split between things I'd want to see before I bought, some of which made me not want to buy them, and things I wouldn't: I do want to see digital picture frames to see they still haven't gotten the resolution high enough, and I liked being able to try bone-conduction headphones without having to buy them, but I don't need to see wifi routers in person before I buy one.
