Walmart will sell iPhones starting Dec. 28

who cares? bigger distribution is a good thing

I can't wait for the "Beat Your Child in Aisle 3" app, a Walmart exclusive, to be available for download in the store free with any new iPhone.

WOW, some of you Apple Fanboys are SNOBS!!! These comments are TERRIBLE!

Like it or not Wal-Mart is HUGE. There are more have-nots than there are havs. Wal-Mart found a market and they are successful. Sure, they may not treat their people the best but those people need to deal with that.

Apple is in the business of making money and selling the iPhone through Wal-Mart WILL make them money. Case Closed.

Oh, and all of you who are knocking the workers at Wal-Mart are A** Holes! I worked there in high school and I know/knew many great people who work/worked there. I saved my money to buy my first Apple, a Performa 405 from my store.

I really thought Apple fans were different, open minded, I guess I was wrong!

lol@this argument. all of you that don't want your precious iPhones sold at wal-mart are just elitists who want to feel like you're part of some kind of "upper-class" that iPhones grant membership to.

grow up. i liked being the only one with an iPhone too, but in the end, everyone just wants to make money.

btw, im the manager of a connection center at a wal-mart, and speaking for the stores in my market at least, the CC managers know how to do their job. Plus we are having at least 5 days of on and off site training for activation and product knowledge. PLUS, the agreement is that from Dec 28 on, there must be an iPhone-trained CC associate or a cross-trained Electronics associate on duty at ALL times.

I don't see this going any worse than the 1 hr activation wait time I had at Best Buy back in October.

I think ipods and itouches are discount a few dollars so yea, at best, you'll get a $10 itunes acrd like best buy or cir uit city promos and maybe a few dollars off the iphone ... it's probably not the first choice for many people here but in a lot cities and towns, WM is one of your few choices so why not ...

I was not aware there is more than 1 definition of the term. Guess I'm not as one three three seven as I thought...

I assume the iphone will be the low low price of $198 at Wal-Mart.

I will pay the extra $1 to not have to deal with that place.

Walmart has been selling iPod Touches from the get-go. This is no different. And I'm happy when more people have iPhones. A little more market security means better apps, more standardization, and a greater pool to demand the basics like streo bt and cut/paste. I say good. Still, f Walmart.

and hey Walmart greeter, what 1337 definition are you? http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=1337

I've worked at Wally World as a greeter for over 10 years now and I always try to do my best. I understand that most people have a negative view of our stores, but I'm setting out to change that, one customer at a time. We usually rotate out as greeters, but I did so well at the beginning, they made me permanent greeter! I consider myself somewhat tech savvy and I welcome the iPhone to our stores. I'm as one three three seven as the next guy, but I see no problem with Apple trying to make more money. It IS all about money after all, even if you think they make too much already (I do). Keep an eye on that Apple stock =)

Sweet $20 no contract iphones here I come!!!!

Give any wallmart employee 20 bills or a piece of crack and they will get you anything you want!

Thats how I got the 37in LCD, an ipod touch and a load of other crap I would never buy. I love wallmart!!!!
