The iPad 2 is taking some monumental ground across the world. With impressive sales in the United States and in other countries, investors and journalists alike are tracking the progress of Apple's brain-child.

As of tomorrow, the ipad is going to continue it's migration into 12 additional countries, including India and Japan.

The Asian market is often a barometer for success, as the various cultures tend to prize the latest technological innovations. In fact, it seems like only a short time ago that the first generation iPads were being snapped up in Japan and China, to be resold later.

But the foreign market isn't the only one Apple is tapping in to. Believe it or not, Toys R Us will soon be carrying the devices.

Yes. You read correctly. Toys R Us is getting the latest iPad on its shelves. Chalk this up to another genius move for Apple.

This might sound a little bizarre, but it actually makes perfect sense. I've seen plenty of children walking around with iPads grasped in their grubby little paws,

What's the appeal? Well, while the newest iPads may feature dual cameras for videoconferencing and speeds that put earlier generations to shame, their target audience isn't only the enterprise-class customer.

As the hallowed Angry Birds franchise shows us, games in app-form are more popular than ever. And since kids play games, the relationship is an easy one to understand.

If the hottest tablet needed any further kid-friendly designation, Mike Elgan over at PCWorld called it back in March of 2010. Elgan said, “I believe that in the under-12 market, the iPad will dominate without any real competition and will completely change children's culture.

Well, Elganstradamus…you were right.

According to Rolling Stone, Toys R Us' iPad shipments are getting swept off of the shelves with alarming regularity.
