Apple is going to launch Apple iPad in Best Buy

On February 23, 2010, at a tech conference sponsored by Goldman Sachs, Apple COO, Tim Cook, said that the iPad will be launched in Best Buy and other selected retail outlets in the U.S. He said that the launch of the iPad will be modeled after that of the iPhone. The Apple iPad tablet PC was unveiled by Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco on January 27, 2010. The Wi-Fi only iPad will be launched in March and the Wi-Fi and 3G model will be launched April. Tuaw.com reports:

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 started selling its Mac PC at Best Buy in 2006. Gradually, Best Buy established “store-within-a-store boutiques” that features all the Mac accessories. Many are expecting that Apple iPad would also have its own boutique in near future.

Initially, the iPad created lots of hype but now people are losing interest in the device. As a result, Apple has even decided to cut prices of the iPad if necessary. Apple did the same thing when it launched Apple iPhone in 2007.
