That would be a bad move for Apple. A high end computing device, in a place that sells toys and some gaming systems. Why would someone buy an ipad from there?

Click to expand...

Why not? They sell it in Target (Wal-Mart too, I believe...). Let's be honest, it IS a toy. Seems like a perfect fit to me.

I remember going to Toys 'R' Us to buy my first printer for my Commodore 64. At one time, they had a thriving business with low-end, kid-friendly computing devices.

I don't see a problem with it either..
The one near me is huge with a very modern electronics/video games department.

Could easily see an iPad desplay,they already sell iPods net books digital cameras camcorders etc.

I think it's a great idea. When Mom and Dad are out shopping with the kids and they're wanting some new toys from Toys R Us, they can pick up a few new "toys" for themselves.
