Toys 'R' Us makes room for iPods, Eee PCs and cash money

Toys 'R' Us, the primary provisioner of joy and happiness to children in the world, is branching out into iPods and Eee PCs. Though never a stranger to consumer electronics, Toys 'R' Us has traditionally shied away from strict gadgetry -- with a notable exception being Zune sales starting last year. Now the retailer will be offering iPods in a little "iPod boutique," with various shuffles, nanos, touches and related accessories to help you fill those stockings and bolster Geoffrey's bottom line. The Eee PC will be offered in black and white, with low-end 7-inch Linux and XP versions available for $269 and $299, respectively.

It would be weird and bad to business if they are branching out for Zune instead of iPods.

Zune's OR iPod's... both suck.

For relatively same cost, get a Nokia 800 or 810 w/ (2) TWO SDHC slots. 2 16gb SD cards a touch-screen, wifi, bluetooth, Linux... wow. What a better deal. Plus, it's a hell of a lot cooler to play Doom (or Duke Nukem 3D ;) )AND listen to music than share music wireless with other Zune owners (DRM -1 )

I don't why it took them so long. Those products seems like they belong there.
