Best Buy to sell iPads
Last Tuesday, Apple's COO Tim Cookannounced that consumers will be able to buy the iPad at Best Buy locations in the US.
While speaking at the Goldman Sachs annual tech conference in San Francisco, Mr. Cook told the crowd that the iPad will be sold at "... places with really great assisted sales," like Best Buy. There's no word on iPads appearing at other 3rd party retailers, domestically or overseas, but Mr. Cook says that we can expect sales partners to expand over time.
Apple began selling Macs at Best Buy, a big box store in the US, in 2006. A year later that program expanded into the small, store-within-a-store boutiques that many locations feature today. Macs, accessories and soon, iPads, can all be had at Best Buy.
As for the propaganda, Tim laid it on thick. "The experience is just absolutely incredible," he said. "And so we're obviously very excited about this thing and can't wait to start shipping it."
