If someone’s your bitch, they do whatever you say, even though it may not be in their best interest.
You decide if Target is Apple’s Bitch:
- As part of Target’s 50-year anniversary it’s launching mini-Apple stores within 25 Targets . That’s 1.39% of the 1,800 Target locations.
- Target began selling Kindles in 2010 and the Kindle Fire was Target’s best-selling tablet during Black Friday 2011.
- Target recently announced that it will be “phasing out Kindles and Amazon- and Kindle-branded products in the spring of 2012.”
It’s interesting to note that Target will continue to sell the Nook, which to me is an indication that Apple isn’t too worried about that floundering product, despite the new B&N / Microsoft partnership.
It’s also interesting that Amazon is becoming public enemy #1 of many publishers, distributors, and now Target.
What’s even more interesting is that Amazon doesn’t seem to be phased or even care.
If Amazon needs a bitch, I’m sure it’ll get many volunteers. Walmart seems like bitch material.
