Apple Expanding iPad 2 Retail Presence to Toys R' Us?


ModMyI claims that Toys R' Us will begin selling the iPad 2 next month.

And there's photographic evidence to back up the claim. Obtained during an employee training session, the pic clearly illustrates the iPad 2 presented in some form of employee training and testing process - something that would naturally take place shortly before a new product launch.

The move would further expand Apple's retail presence for the iPad 2. The iPad is already being sold in 3rd party retailers Wal-Mart, Best Buy, and Target as well as Apple's own retail stores.

iPad 2 supplies seem to be improving with ship times having decreased to 2-3 weeks. But supply is still short in several parts of the country with reports of morning lines still forming at several Apple stores.

Why? Kids love playing with iPads. If I'm not mistaken, Toys R Us sells iPod Touches too.

I don't think so. Toys R Us moved big into video games a while back. Not to mention their 800+ US stores and 700+ outside the US. Distribution is just another way Apple will choke Android tablets.

That's probably in Toys R Us's "big kids" section next to the video games, etc.

Since when has Toys R' Us been only for Kids? They sell a number of high end tech products from video games, to PS3's, to DVD's etc.

Not surprising one bit. Market saturation.
