Target Plans to Separate Web Store From Amazon

Target Plans to Separate Web Store From Amazon

Target is the second-largest discount retailer in the United States (second only to Wal-mart), and since 2001 it has partnered with Amazon.com to relaunch Target.com as an online store and ecommerce platform, leveraging Amazon’s technology and fulfillment capabilities to offer online shopping to its customers. Now, after a decade of partnership, Target has decided it wants to do e-commerce in its own again, announcing plans to launch its own Target.com platform in time for the 2011 holiday season.

Target Selling Used Electronics Online

Target Selling Used Electronics Online

Discount retailer Target begun testing online sales of used electronics, including video game consoles, personal electronics, portable media players, and even high-definition flat panel televisions.

According to Target, the “pre-owned” items on sale via the Web site are inspected and, if necessary, refurbished by “a manufacturer-authorized or Target-managed third party. In a conference call discussing quarterly financial results, the company said it started offering the used electronics late last month after noting many electronics items were being returned to the stores in working order. Target is offering the pre-owned items with the same 90-day return policy it applies to new goods sold through its online and retail locations.

Target Will Only Stock Blu-Ray Players?

In addition to Blockbuster placing its substantial weight behind Blu-Ray in the ongoing high-def format wars, the nation’s second-largest retailer will now assume the same position. Target announced on Thursday that its stores will only stock Blu-Ray players in the future, preferring not to pick up any stand-alone HD-DVD players.

Target would not cite the reason for its shift in policy, but its shelves are already devoid of HD-DVD players, meaning there won’t be any drastic product-pulling or fire sales. Company representatives deny that Target is taking a stance one way or the other on high-def content and trying to predict a winner. "We are not proclaiming one format vs. the other as the preferred consumer technology, and software will continue to be available to our guests in both the Blu-ray and HD-DVD format," Target spokeswoman Brie Heath told the Associated Press.  Read more...

Shutterfly Offers In-Store Pickup at Target

Online photo service Shutterfly announced Monday that it would make the leap to retail stores via a partnership with Target stores. Using either company’s Web site, users will be able to upload, store and share photos just as they normally would with Shutterfly, but prints will be available for pickup at Target stores in as little as one hour.

The move will place Shutterfly in direct competition with pharmacies like CVS and Rite Aid, which have long leveraged their physical locations to offer in-store pickup of online orders. All three companies offer standard 4×6 prints for what seems to be the going rate of 19 cents.  Read more...

Ace Bayou Rockers Hit Target, Wal-Mart

Is Apple Interested in Buying TiVo?

“What we hear on the street is that Apple is interested in their business and that they are a takeout target,” said analyst Steven Kroll Jr. of Monness, Crespi, Hardt & Co.

Representatives for Apple and TiVo both declined comment.

TiVo’s chief executive, Michael Ramsay, has said the company is not for sale. But with a market capitalization of only $300 million, analysts figure the company might be an easy target, perhaps from consumer electronics makers to media companies looking to bolster their video services.

Target Pulls Mac mini From Online Store

Apple Insider is reporting that while Target is citing availability concerns, but there may be more going on. A 10% off coupon is apparently floating around the net allowing customers to purchase the Mac mini at below Target’s assumed cost. Of course this is only speculation.

Target had the following to say to its customers:

“We appreciate your interest in purchasing the Mac Mini. We can’t offer a definite date when it will be on hand again, and because of this, we’re not able to make it available for ordering at this time,” the retailer said.  Read more...

Hard Disk Drives To Be Used In Cell Phones

Although Toshiba Corp stresses that “mobile phones are not the only target for 0.85-inch HDDs,” many see mobile phones to be the big target for HDDs in the one-inch form factor.

Recently, mobile phones that can show TV programs and movies recorded on semiconductor memory cards have been released, and users have more chances of experiencing high-volume data contents. There does seem to be an inevitability of hard drives being built into mobile phones.

In addition to this, manufacturers can expect far greater volume efficiency in mobile phones than in digital cameras or MP3 players, yet another good reason in favor of this move.  Read more...
