2:36PM Nick Broughall | Back in September when Apple refreshed its iPod lineup, there was a bit of disappointment and confusion around the Touch’s lack of a camera. Disappointment because it didn’t have a camera, and confusion because case manufacturers had shown off cases boasting a hole for a camera anyway. But what’s even more confusing is that now, six weeks later, target are actually selling cases with the camera slot for iPod Touch, as evidenced by the photo tipster Ryan sent in… More »
Why Are Target Selling iPod Touch Cases With Camera Holes?

Seeing Viral Spread of Target Stores Across U.S. Somehow Not as Terrifying as Wal-Mart
3:00AM Jack Loftus | Seeing Wal-Mart spread across the U.S. in that video last month reminded me of a virus consuming mankind, but this Target one? Not so much. It’s not a perfect store, but it’s certainly no Wal-Mart. More »

Callpod Gets Temporary Restraining Order Against Target For Knockoff Chargepods
10:37AM Jason Chen | Remember those knockoff 6-1 Chargepod chargers we showed you last week? A judge just granted a temporary restraining order to get Target to stop selling the unlicensed, unauthorised duplications. Good news for Callpod and good news for consumers, who were getting fooled by the not-as-good knockoffs anyway. Here’s our original review in case you were interested in getting one yourself. Short verdict: they’re good. [Photo Credit Ben Johnson] More »

Target Selling Knockoff Chargepods Branded Under Own Name?
9:40AM Jason Chen | A tipster tells us that Target’s selling these “6 in 1 device charger” things at Target for $US30, capable of charging six things at once. If that sounds familiar, it’s because that’s exactly what the Chargepod does. In fact, this version is so “familiar” it even stole pages out of Callpod’s user manual. What’s even worse about this lousy (probably Chinese) knockoff is that Target’s selling it under their own Target brand. If all this is true, shame, shame on you Target. [Thanks Tipster!] More »

Target Gift Cards Double as Digital Cameras
7:20AM Mark Wilson | Is it a gift card with a digital camera, or a digital camera with a gift card? We’re not quite sure, but this holiday season, Target will begin selling a combo gift card/digital camera, giving customers something to do with their gift certificate other than just spending it while being insulted that a loved one didn’t put a little more thought into the present.

NEC’s Minority Report-Style Display Tailors Adverts For You (Verdict: Frankenads)
11:45PM Kit Eaton | It may be tired to bring up Minority Report, but remember the scenes in the movie where our hero gets bothered by interactive targeted advertising wherever he goes? Thanks to dear ol’ NEC, this nightmare of advert pestering may really be in our future: its new ad display panel watches its watchers with a camera, then tailors the adverts to the audience. The 50-inch plasma’s camera and software doesn’t quite go so far as identifying specific people, but it does guess at age and sex and then offers you the chance to grab data on the products wirelessly to a mobile phone. It’ll be demoed at Fuji Television’s festival in Tokyo: go along and see how irritating (or not) the future of advertising may be, if you’re interested. [Times of India via Dvice] More »
