The CEO of Best Buy just said the iPad is cannibalizing 50% of the company’s laptop sales, the Wall Street Journal reports.
When consumers walk into Best Buy now, they don’t look at or want laptops, instead they’re drawn to the iPad.
"People are willing to disproportionately spend for these devices because they are becoming so important to their lives," says CEO Brian Dun.

We’re getting reports from various sites that Apple has released the beta version of iOS 4.2 into the wild for developer testing. This is suppose to add a number of features, especially for the iPad, in the form of multi-tasking, AirPlay, folder organization, the ability to print from your iPad and more. Developers can access the beta through the Dev Center now.
This update is scheduled to come to consumers’ iPads sometime in November of this year, so devs will have a few months to tinker around with it before release.
