As retailers gird their corporate loins for Black Friday, Apple's iPad product line is shaping up to be the headliner product to attract shoppers at many chains. Target, Best Buy, and Walmart are all pricing the devices aggressively, including some deals that include a free gift card.
In addition, MacMall has already launched its online 60 Hour Black Friday sale. Apple will also be holding its idea of a sale on Black Friday, but the details won't be announced until they go live.
I've been rounding the deals up, but if you see one I don't have, drop me a note or drop a comment below.
