My local Best Buy used to have the Apple products (iMac, iPod, iPad, etc.) all by themselves, off to the side. The other tablets were about 40 feet away, with dozens of models of laptop computers in between.
Now all the tablets are in the same area, with the iPad very near the Asus, Sony, Samsung and other tablets. I might enter an aisle and have an iPad on my right and a Samsung Galaxy Tab on my left. Someone might go to Best Buy to buy an iPad, see something cheaper, and buy that instead?
Anecdotally, I have a friend who works at a Staples and she said that many of the people who bought a RIM Playbook returned it. I guess that means you should look at usage numbers, not sales figures.
- trotsky 15y agoDoes that mean Apple has dropped the requirement that their products require a set off sales area with certain specs? It's been a very long time since I've been in a best buy, but Microcenter still has this configuration and I know it used to be non-negotiable.
