Apple will be opening 25 “store-within-a-store” concepts in 25 Target retail stores across the U.S. This is part of Target’s broader initiative called “the Shops at Target.” This initiative focuses on specific products and brands. Below is a statement from Target:

Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT) is gearing up to launch a new version of their website next week. The company believes that the new website will increase their sales. The new website has been in development for two years and it will make shopping easier with a faster check-out.

Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT) has announced a partnership with Shopkick. Shopkick is a mobile application that automatically recognizes when you walk into a partner’s store. Target has implemented this feature into 242 stores so far.

Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT) and Kodak will now let you print photos from Facebook through in-store kiosks. To print your Facebook photos, you simply have to log in to your account from the kiosk. The kiosks have limited access to your Facebook information because the software only accesses your photos. The kiosks will let you print single photos or photo books. Full press release below:

Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT) will start selling the Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPad in stores today. “We hope to sell a lot more later this week, once people are more aware that we carry it,” stated Target team member Chetna Parikh. Those that have a Target store credit card will receive a 5% discount on the tablet device. Target will be selling all 6 versions of the iPad. [PCW]

Someone at the big red retailer has leaked a circulation ad that reveals future prices for the Xbox 360 Pro and the Xbox Elite.  The Xbox 360 60GB Pro system will cost $250 starting later this week and the 120GB price will drop to about $300.  These prices cuts are not surprising because last week, Sony released the PS3 Slim and cut the price of the original PS3.
