Christmas season and gift buying is nearly upon us and rumor has it that Apple’s new iPad device will possibly be available in Target retail stores this coming season.  Earliest accounts for it’s arrival are estimated for October 3rd.  This will no doubt be a hot gift item this Christmas, and having it available in one of the US’s largest retail outlets should fuel sales for Apple and expand the iPad’s consumer base… which we’re sure will be followed by the next thing, which will be a big push of all new apps and games available for the iPad.
