You gotta pay to play.

Retailers always demand a fee from the manufacturer before they provide special displays like the Apple section at BB. The contract likely specifies that BB employees will keep Apple's products charged up and functional at all times. This is only possible because Apple's products command high margins that can easily cover the marketing fees.

Apple's tablet competitors obviously don't have that level of relationship. I've yet to see so much as an end cap for an Android tablet.
