Target to Carry Apple TVs?

Whaaaaaaaaaaat? Just doesn't seem right for some reason. :rolleyes:
I understand the target audience, but I just couldn't see myself walking
into Target for some Apple advice/info, even if it were for just the AppleTV.

True, but then again, the advice you get at Comp USA is not all that much better....

it makes sense. target sells ipods and hdtvs. it isn't a stretch to sell apple tvs, too.

"Target will reportedly mimic Apple Stores with a full demonstration unit connected to a widescreen HDTV."

Yes, but will they mimic Apple Stores with the utter crap quality video media being used for the Apple Store demo units?

I hope not.

This news is positively huge,

I am flabbergasted and floored...

Oh wait....

nevermind, :rolleyes:

You're right about that, I guess I'll stick the online store.

Cool, we need Apple products spread to as many stores as are willing to carry them. :-)

I have yet to see an apple store display. I highly doubt that apple would demo a video that is of "poor quality". Maybe you just have way too high of standards.

Whether or not Apple TV will enjoy a large consumer adoption remains to be seen.

Duh...

No one knows what the thing does!!! All the commercials say is "If it's on your computer... and on your ipod... it's now on your TV" or something. What the hell does that mean???:(

Sorry, Apple. Remember English class:eek: ..... "Show, don't tell" your reader about things.

The days of cute little hip ads need to go. Show show show.:)

I wish you were right. Frankly, I couldn't believe what I was seeing either. The video demos were bad. Really bad. Not quite YouTube bad, but they looked closer to YouTube than they did to DVD. Honestly.

If you read any of the forums just after the AppleTV was released, you would have seen others report the same thing, from stores across the country (I had hoped it was just an issue at my local store).

I'm not sure what went wrong, as owners of AppleTVs later confirmed that video really did look better than what was shown at the Apple Stores. So why the demos were (are?) so bad is a mystery that remains unexplained. But seeing these things in action gave me a "no way I'm buying one of these if this is what the video looks like" reaction. And I typically have a hard time finding fault in Apple products.

Someone should have been fired for the junk those demo units were churning out for all the world to see.
