iPod hype builds: Target warns staff about "high theft" products

4 September 2007 14:14 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott

Hype is building for what is strongly rumoured to be a new range of iPods from Apple to be announced tomorrow.

AppleInsider is reporting that American super-chain Target has sent an internal note to electronics department employees warning them:

"To be ready for an unknown, but very significant, product announcement on Wednesday for which Target will be one of the first resellers."

The memo apparently notes that one or more "high retail" (high profile) and "high theft" products will ship directly to Target outlets almost immediately after their formal introduction on September 5th.

The products will be of "sufficiently high priority" that they might be delivered to shops outside of normal hours at the shipping docks for security reasons.

Just as long as no-one hurts the puppies...
