The Apple iPad starts at $499, making it a pretty expensive Christmas, even if you’re able to get a deal on Black Friday. The best price we’ve seen is from TJ Maxx, which has limited quantities at select stores for $399. That’s a pretty tall order for parents in this economy. According to the study, 31% of kids have the want an iPad within the next six months.
The Apple iPod Touch and a computer (brand not specified) are both on 29% of kids’ wish lists. As Nielsen points out, the iPod Touch has displaced the Nintendo DS and PSP from the top mobile gaming gadget spot. While the iPod Touch does much more than just mobile gaming, children view the iPod Touch primarily as a gaming device.
Gaming consoles and accessories, such as the XBOX Kinect round out the list.

At the very bottom of the list, 11% of kids want an eReader.
