Apple iPad has eaten up 50% of the laptop PC sales at Best Buy
Share:
Best Buy's CEO was interviewed for some guidance to how the holiday shopping season is shaping up, and he spilled more interesting observations. TV sales have remained flat, but motion gaming and mobile computing sales, this time in the form of tablets, e-readers and smartphones, are expected to explode.
Best Buy will be responding to this shift in consumers' sentiment by displaying front and center in the stores motion gaming setups, as well as devices like Amazon's Kindle and Apple's iPad.
After the iPhone grabbed half of the cell phone industry's profits, does it look like the iPad will do the same to laptop PC sales? Or will the upcoming competition such as the Galaxy Tab slow its expansion quickly enough?

What is surprising is that people depends on plug ins to explore the web... Flash can be a complement just as any other plug in, but nowadays flash is OWNING the web and people is DEPENDING on flash The truth is that nobody should control the Internet nor anyone should depend on another to enjoy it so..

This statement was retracted so the Apple fans can get out of the circle jerk now and the Android fans, well, they can stop whatever the hell it is they do... Where's the update PA??? If anything, iPad sales are probably cannibalizing MacBook sales.

Finding some good iPad deals this holiday season may be a problem though so be prepared to put up a fight if you want to get a really great deal on an iPad this Christmas.
