We could tell you Kid Friday followers all about the long lines at the Apple Store and that Apple had sold out of on-line inventory, but you probably already knew that.

So instead, how about a few facts about the new iPad:

Apple’s 3rd generation iPad was announced on March 7, 2012. While the new iPad looks like last year’s iPad 2, it has a better screen, processor, optics, and networking that combine to make it an impressive upgrade.

Apple Expands Retail Stores Via Target

6 Jan

Apple will be opening new store-within-a-store locations in select Target locations later this year, enabling the company to expand its retail reach into smaller metro areas.

According to a source familiar with Apple’s plans, the company plans to begin operating Apple-branded areas within 25 larger Target stores in locations which can’t support a standalone Apple Store.

The initial opening would be a small start, given that Target, the second-largest discount retail chain in the US, operates 1752 stores in the US. Apple has opened 359 of its own retail stores globally, 245 of which are in the US.
