It's actually a bit of a blast to the past. In the 80s, TRU had a very healthy computers and software section including lots of non-game titles. I bought my Commodore 128D at TRU.![]()
It's the perfect place for iToys including the new "safer, easier, iOS powered, iColoringBooks" ...This is kind of weird.
It's a stigma that really doesn't help the iPad image. Most notably among working class users.Why all the negatives???
Now expectant parents can register for an iPad along with their stroller at Babies-R-Us!
Will Apple be releasing an integrated iBib? I have a 2 year old and dinner times can get pretty messy.![]()
Pretty soon you'll be able to buy an iPad at the checkout register at the grocery store and gas station.
Yeah, I remember getting my Commodore 1581 drive from TRU when they first came out as they were actually sold out at the "computer" stores.![]()
This is kind of weird.
I would agree. Sure saturating the market is all well and good for current sales, but at which point are they devaluing the brand image. There is a tipping point, just as there is with all brands.
Again, this is good news. Apple is expanding where you can purchase their stuff. Why all the negatives???
Good for them. The more outlets for it, the better. Doesn't detract from Apple's reputation. It's still 100% an apple product.
Here is what to do in the following scenarios:
Shopper: Do you carry the Etch-A-Sketch?
Clerk: Isn't that a drawing pad?
Shopper: Yes
Clerk: RIGHT!!! Follow me...the pads are over here!!!
Shopper: Do you carry bean bags?
Clerk: Isn't that a drawing pad?
Shopper: Well...er...sort of
Clerk: RIGHT!!! Follow me...the pads are over here!!!
Shopper: Do you carry Chatty Kathy?
Clerk: Isn't that a device with a computer in it?
Shopper: I think so?
Clerk: RIGHT!!! Follow me...the pads are over here!!!
Am i looking at this right?

32 Gb iPod Touches are $355.72?? Sounds mighty expensive when you take into account the US price of $299 plus tax.
to make the troll's heads explode. They'll have a whole new avenue to exploit with snarky comments. I can't wait to read the first troll posts. They should be here any minute now.![]()
