Target Launches iPhone Trade-Ins
Target this week is offering credits towards a new iPhone 4 for anyone who trades in an iPhone 3G or 3GS. Customers can receive up to $200 in credit towards the purchase of a new device.
The iPhone trade-in deal is offering between Feb. 6 and 12. However, it only applies to those who sign a new contract with AT&T- the new Verizon iPhone is not part of the offer.
It is part of a larger program in which customers can bring in old gadgets and receive Target credits.

Best Buy, Staples Debut Super Bowl Ads
Consumer electronics retailers and manufacturers were once again all over the commercials of the Super Bowl broadcast Sunday. A roundup:
- Best Buy debuted its first Super Bowl ad ever, for its upcoming Buy Back Program, which featured music stars young (Justin Bieber ) and old (Ozzy Osbourne .) The ad pokes fun at 3G, 4G, and the confusion of "G"s, with Ozzy asking "how many bloody Gs are there?," until a mysterious bearded character (played by Bieber himself) points out that the singer "kind of looks like a girl."

Verizon iPhone Presale Broke Records
Before Verizon halted its online iPhone presale on Thursday, it sold so many units that it broke Verizon's sales record.
"In just our first two hours, we had already sold more phones than any first day launch in our history," Verizon Wireless president Dan Mead said in a statement.
