It doesn't exactly come as the shock of the century, but shoppers are
set to spurn purchases of traditional PC devices in favour of more
interactive toys this holiday season, according to the latest research.
A PriceGrabber survey has revealed that 59 per cent of consumers
would prefer to receive a tablet as a festive gift, and iconic US
manufacturer Apple unsurprisingly ranks at the top of the collective
wish list: nearly two-thirds of respondents (63 per cent) proffered that
their preferred present would be a third or fourth-generation iPad,
with a further 24 per cent saying that they were hoping for an iPad mini.
