Target and Amazon Begin Selling iPad
As previously announced retail store chain Target began selling all six models of Apple's iPad, prominently featuring the device on the front of its weekly advertising circular included in Sunday newspapers around the United States. With 1,743 stores around the United States, Target's new offerings significantly increase the retail store presence for Apple's tablet device.
Not only has Target begun offering the iPad, but several readers have also reported to us that Amazon has begun offering the iPad directly through its own store. Availability is limited to the 32 GB and 64 GB Wi-Fi-only models for the time being.
Amazon has for some time offered iPads on its site through third-party partners, but those offerings have typically come with inflated pricing, making true Amazon availability at standard pricing a welcome addition for many customers.

Many people aren't going to drop $500 on something like an iPad if they can't hold it in their hands when they're making the decision. Since there aren't many Apple stores and there are ~1750 Targets, this is a great move IMO.

A source close to me has told me that Walmart will be selling them by the end of the year. I know it's been talked about but my source confirmed it Friday.
