Wal-Mart to sell iPod shuffle
Well, this puts emphasis on the ‘cheap’ in ‘cheap portable audio player.’ It should be good news for Apple’s
coffers, though, that they’ve
partnered with Wal-Mart to get the iPod shuffle into most, if not all, of the retail giant’s 5000 locations.
The deal will include placement in a Wal-Mart ‘feature’ in March. Considering that a feature requires at least 50
units per hometown store, this alone will move a quarter of a million shuffles. There’s a whole lotta shuffle goin’
on.
Mac Daily News notes that at press time, the Wal-Mart online music story was
down. Coincidence?

It was also reported elsewhere that it includes the English Walmarts.
And, it's been noticed that the Walmart music store is offline. Coincidence?
