Target, Walmart list price drop for B&N’s Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight to $119
Check those calendars. It’s September 29th, which means, for those who follow the world of e-readers, that we’re two days from Kindle Paperwhite day. According to Target and Walmart, it also means that Barnes & Noble’s own illuminated e-reader, the Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight, is getting a $20 price cut, down to $119. That price puts the reader on par with the entry-level Paperwhite (no 3G, with ads). Let the battle of the front lit e-readers commence!

Paid Twitter wannabe App.net hits $500K target with time to spare
Paid Twitter-style service App.net has achieved its self-imposed $500,000 funding goal with almost two days still left on the clock. The social platform is the brainchild of Dalton Caldwell, who said he wanted to spawn a service dedicated to users instead of advertisers. It was originally pitched to Facebook, but the two companies came to loggerheads when it clashed with the social network’s own App Center — inspiring Caldwell’s Kickstarter-style campaign. Though the software is still in alpha, over 10,000 backers have paid $50 for an annual membership or put down $1,000 for support, developer tools and a meeting with the founder. The company will now start working on its terms of service, letting users offer feedback and discover new features — and if you wanna be @John instead of @JohnFDoe99427 on the new service, you may want to pony up, quick.

‘The Shack’ downsizes, opens Bullseye Mobile kiosks in many Target stores
Radio Shack is at it again, expanding your perceptions of the place that once actually sold radio components. A year after that ill-received ‘The Shack’ marketing campaign the company is now making a rather more substantial move, securing an arrangement with Target stores to see the creation of so-called Bullseye Mobile kiosks. This has started with a 100-store pilot program but, throughout this year and into summer next, the expectation is to prop them up in 1,750 big box locations. Something tells us they won’t all be wired up for WiMAX, but we can hope.
[Thanks, Breon]

RCA BRC3108 portable Blu-ray ships to Target, seriously undercuts Panny’s DMP-B15
Remember Panasonic’s DMP-B15? You know, that “world’s first portable Blu-ray player” that was introduced at CES and just started shipping last month? With an $800 price tag, there’s a good chance you never even let the thing enter your stream of consciousness, but we can only wish you the best of luck as you try to ignore this one. RCA has quietly started to ship its BRC3108 10-inch portable Blu-ray player, which is equipped with a rechargeable battery, integrated stereo speakers, a headphone jack, 1080p HDMI output and bundled car / AC adapters alongside a carrying bag with headrest attachment for in-car use. The mini player lists for $349.99 on Amazon, and it’s already starting to appear in select Target locations. You’ll notice that Amazon still shows the device as being available for pre-order, and even the Target model didn’t have a shelf tag yet. That said, we’re sure someone in the back can pull some strings if you wave your credit card around long enough.
[Thanks, Scott]
