Shuffles arrive at Target retail stores, in stock at CC
Apple is pursuing new distribution channels for its iPod music players quite aggressively. In addition to Circuit City and Best Buy, iPod shuffles are on their way to all 1,308 Target retail stores, which are located in 47 states. Target is also selling the player through its online store, but does not expect availability for at least another two weeks. On the other hand, sources report that on Thursday Circuit City online received a significant shipment of shuffles. Checks with the Circuit City online store reveal that both the 512MB and 1GB versions of the iPod shuffle are, once again, immediately available and ready to ship. They will not last long.

I still have not seen Shuffles in wide distribution in Canada.
I am very impressed with the player. You really don't miss the screen.
Just got home from work, on the way I stopped off at target to cash in my giftcards for a shuffle, the employee in electronics told me that they have tons of them, but cannot sell them till the 27th...looks like 9 days and counting
Unless I can get ahold of a clerck who doesnt know...

The display and pricing is up at the local Target. I did not get a chance to ask if they were actually selling any right now....\
He also informed me about what's going on with the PSP but I tuned out after about 5 seconds.
I'll see how many we have in stock tomorrow (if any) to let you guys know approximately how much the DC has shipped to the stores. Well at least what we received in CO.

I spoke with my local Target this evening and received a similar report. They have them in stock but cannot sell them until 2/27.
Judgeing by your name, I am guessing you live at/near Purdue Univ., If so, we probably spoke to the same target store on SR-26E...wouldn't that be funny...
