Wal-Mart to Sell the iPhone: Nothing to See Here
By Harry McCracken | Friday, December 26, 2008 at 10:32 am
It’s felt all but official for weeks, but now it’s officially official: Wal-Mart will begin selling iPhones on Sunday. The one thing that was intriguing about the rumor version of this news was the theory that it would offer a 4GB version for $99. But as I suspected, the retailing behemoth will sell the same 8GB and 16GB models as everyone else. (At a tiny discount–the 8GB will be $197 and the $16GB will be $297.)
As of Sunday, iPhones will now available at Apple Stores, AT&T stores, Best Buy, and Wal-Mart. And I hope that this marks the end of it being worth of note when Apple lines up additional retailers. (It does feel inevitable that RadioShack will join the lineup eventually, given that it currently sells both iPods and phones.)

I cannot wait to study more of this excellent topic. So much today Ive never even idea of. You sure did put an alternative twist on something that Ive heard very much about. I dont believe Ive actually read any situation that does this subject as good justice as you solely did.
