iPad to be Sold at Target in October?


Engadget claims that Target will begin carrying Apple's iPad in the coming weeks. The evidence comes in the form of inventory screenshots from Target's PDAs. Apparently 6 unnamed items are due on October 3rd and they match up with the iPads unique pricing (Wi-Fi and 3G models).

That includes a list featuring a mysteriously unnamed product that's set to become available on October 3rd (in six different versions, no less), and a series of images from a Target PDA (like the one pictured above) that seemingly show that the item numbers match the iPad prices exactly, and that it will be located in the Digital Audio section -- that's apparently also how e-readers like the Kindle are classified, in addition to iPods.

The Apple iPad has sold over 3.2 million as of Q3 2010. The iPad was in short supply in the early months after its release but these constraints have eased up in recent weeks.

Engadget has been tipped off that the iPads will be coming to Target in time for holiday sales.
.

It's not quite the definitive proof that some boxes spotted in the wild would be, but a tipster has sent us a few pieces of a puzzle that seem to suggest that Apple could be expanding the iPad's retail presence into Target stores just in time for the holiday shopping season. That includes a list featuring a mysteriously unnamed product that's set to become available on October 3rd (in six different versions, no less), and a series of images from a Target PDA (like the one pictured above) that seemingly show that the item numbers match the iPad prices exactly, and that it will be located in the Digital Audio section -- that's apparently also how e-readers like the Kindle are classified, in addition to iPods. Smoking gun? Not exactly, but it's certainly enough to get us to keep our eye on this one.

Target is huge in my neck of the woods. If this is true they'll see 3.2 million more really fast. Especially with FaceTime.

other than the price tag being the same as a 32gb iPad ($599), I don't see how you can conclude with that photo that the iPad is coming to target this fall?

am I missing something?

More big box stores. I see the positive aspects, but I don't like it. Then again, Tar-Zhay is the rich folks WalMart.

If they can sell the iPhone 4 at Radio Shack and Walmart, then why not the iPad at the arguably more pleasant Target?

Good move in time for Christmas.

I am sure the brilliantly trained sales staff at Target will have all the skills and knowledge to help users make an informed purchase. Perhaps this will help move some of the massive overstock Apple has.

It's not even the same price as the iPad- the image shows $599.99, the iPad, as is typical with Apple products, is $599 flat. Just don't say it's six hundred dollars.
