iPad To Be Sold At Best Buy
Some interesting news out of Apple COO Tim Cook – he recently announced that the iPad will be sold at retail locations, like Best Buy, soon after it launches.
He also revealed that Apple considers itself to be a “mobile device company,” which makes sense as it pulls in most of its revenue from iPhones, iPods and laptops.
Additionally, when asked if the iPad would b e a replacement for netbooks, Cook completely trashed them – much like Jobs does at every opportunity.
Finally, when asked about the apparent failure of the Apple TV, Cook mentioned that the product had seen a 35% year over year growth, and was seen to be a “hobby” device.
The idea of picking up an iPad at retail locations makes a lot of sense – there’s something about a device that seems to exist only for fun that makes it the kind of impulse buy you’d pick up at a Best Buy, or a Target, or some other kind of general shopping store.
