iPad to Face New Foes at Big-Box Locations

The tablet era has arrived at big-box retailers, which are now setting aside large swaths of floor space previously devoted to traditional PCs. Best Buy is probably the highest profile example of this trend — it's overhauled or is in the process of overhauling display areas. Tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Motorola Xoom, and Hewlett-Packard TouchPad now get prominent placement at stores, rendering the iPad just one among equals.
