T.J. Maxx and Marshalls Offering iPad for $399

If you are like myself and yet to own an iPad… I have some good news for you as there is a way to get a WiFi Edition iPad for $100 OFF the retail price!

T.J.Maxx is now carrying the 16GB Wi-Fi iPad in very limited stores for a total of $399.99, which is around $100 off the price point of Apple! T.J. Maxx’s sister store Marshalls is offering the same deal. But, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows as there is a little bit of a problem, they are only in select stores with very limited stock. No problem? Wrong, as the stores are unadvertised so you might be wasting a trip to your local T.J. Maxx or Marshalls, so, we suggest you call ahead to make sure they have them in-stock.

The Beatles Hit iTunes

Apple announced today that The Beatles have joined the iTunes library after hyping up a day we would “never forget”. The press releases states,

Apple Corps, EMI and Apple today announced that the Beatles, the most influential and beloved rock band in music history, are now available for the first time on the iTunes Store (www.itunes.com). Starting today, the group’s 13 legendary remastered studio albums with iTunes LPs, the two-volume “Past Masters” compilation and the classic “Red” and “Blue” collections are available for purchase and download on iTunes worldwide as either albums or individual songs. Fans can also get a special digital “Beatles Box Set” featuring the “Live at the Washington Coliseum, 1964″ concert film, a worldwide iTunes exclusive which captures the Beatles’ very first US concert.

All Things Digital is reporting that Apple has exclusive writes of digital distribution of The Beatles “into 2011″. This is good news for fans of The Beatles but I, personally, will have no trouble forgetting this announcement.

Apple To Have iTunes Related Announcement Tomorrow!

Apple has an earth-shattering announcement tomorrow regarding something that is iTunes related. Well, it might not be earth shattering but Apple sure believes it’s something major as they are hyping it up as a “day that you’ll never forget”. If the announcement is what many – including myself – believe which is The Beatles coming to iTunes for download… consider me unimpressed. We will of course have the announcement here on the website as soon as it’s announced.

Apple Offering Free Engravings on the iPad!

Apple is now offering personal engravings, for free, on the iPad much like they do with their iPod Line. If you order an iPad and use the Free Engraving option, your shipping time will go from “within 24hours” to 1-3 business days which isn’t too terribly bad for the personalization you will have on the iPad just in time for the holidays!
