I work for Target Mobile, however I am employed by the Shack… Simplexity is online for Target but is not involved with Target Mobile in store.. we can’t even price match online Target pricing because they are not associated with our Kiosk.

Best Buy, Office Depot, etc. Shame is even if a store manager wanted to do something different and display Android tablets differently, they wouldn’t be allowed to. Not sure if it’s Apple’s influence on marketing, or just everyone’s convinced the Android tablets won’t sell, or maybe they just don’t want to train sales staff to explain the difference between them and the iPad. I’m not sure about retail margins, but they can’t be that much different than the iPad.

I get the feeling a lot of their electronics specialists have no idea what they’re dealing with in the Android tablet department.

The situation is pretty much the same across 3-4 different stores in town.

I was just in a Target the other day and I was amazed they ever sell any phones with only dummy units, many of them broken. The iPads are on prominent display, while the 2-3 Android tablets where on a completely different aisle, way in the back past the GPS units, with no power source.
