iPad 2 News: Toys ‘R' Us Gets the iPad 2 Sunday

It looks like another rumor is being proved true, as the country’s largest toy retailer will begin stocking the iPad 2 on Sunday, April 17. While the iPad is a bit complicated and pricey to really be considered a “toy,” Toys ‘R’ Us sells computers and iPods, so stocking the iPad 2 isn’t much of a stretch. There is a page on the Toys ‘R’ Us site giving a list of which stores will be carrying the iPad 2. 9to5Mac discovered a flyer that reveals the stores will be selling the 16 GB and 32 GB WiFi-only iPad 2 for $499 and $599, with the 16GB model available in white only. The chain will also stock the polyurethane Smart Covers, but not in all colors. So is this really a good fit for the chain and for Apple? Absolutely. It gives potential buyers one more chain where they can find the in-demand tablet, and harried parents the chance to pick up an iPad 2 at a store where they shop regularly. It lets Apple hook a whole new generation of kids on their products, so they can become consumers of the entire line as they get older. Just last week, a school system in Maine unveiled plans to give every kindergartener an iPad 2, so educators are recognizing the value of the tablet in teaching children. Finding the iPad 2 on the shelves could arouse the curiosity of some parents who had not previously considered buying one for their offspring, selling more units for Apple and further entrenching the tablet as a teaching tool. No matter how many iPad 2s each Toys ‘R’ Us location has on Sunday morning, you can bet they won’t last long.
