One of the ways the iPad and the iPod have built their demand is that they have only been offered at specific stores. Of course, the iPad and other iOS devices also want to make sure that their customers are well aware that the devices can be used for all sorts of fun games. It appears that this was the rationale to the company announcing that very soon, the iPad the iPod Touch and possibly even the iPhone would be made available at GameStop locations. To Apple’s credit, the company has done a great job of offering their products in additional retail outlets at a slow trickle. Originally the iPad was only made available at Apple stores as well as Best Buy. In the following years Walmart and Target joined the ranks of stores that offer the device as well as other iOS devices.
Of course, one of truly big bonuses for those who enjoy the iOS devices is that GameStop will continue to offer a trade-in program. This means that now if someone has an iPad but wants to upgrade to an iPad 2 they can take their original device into a GameStop and get store credit towards the newer device. Even better, if you have an Xbox 360 you never play anymore, you can trade that in for the iPad 2 and keep that iPad as well. In fact, according to reports, GameStop would prefer trade-ins of iOS products before it starts offering up the new stuff.
