The popularity of the Eee PC netbook has reached even those industries which you wouldn’t think would be impacted by such a nifty piece of hardware. Latest industry player to join the netbook craze is toy specialist store – Toys ‘R’ Us. But wait, we’re not saying that the store would be releasing its own branded netbook, but rather starting Nov. 16, the toy specialist would soon be carrying the Eee PC under its Consumer Electronics assortment of products.

News had it that Toys ‘R’ Us will be selling four models of the Eee PC 900, with the store hoping to capture the younger market. Toys “R” believe that the Eee PC is a kid-friendly product, hence the decision to sell the said netbooks to its consumers who are predominantly toy-loving younger consumers.

To kick-off the introduction of the Eee PC to their product offerings, Toys ‘R’ Us will be conducting a comprehensive campaign that would include print and active in-store displays.
