    Wal-Mart (WMT) scores a coup of sorts as it will open stores at 12:01 AM - 8 hours before Apple (AAPL) opens its own outlets - to begin selling the new iPad. The arrangement also allows Wal-Mart to get the jump on rivals Target and Best Buy.

  • I can't wait for the YouTube videos of all this.
    The pictures of all the slackers camping out already are hilarious.
    Apple & Wal-Mart should have waited until 12:01 AM on the 1st of the month.
    I would love to watch the videos of the American masses as they take their newly refilled SNAP cards over to Wal-Mart and insist that they pay for their new I-Pads with the SNAP cards. So when the former Occupy Wall Street crowd gets their new I-Pads so they can go back to their full time "pretend" blogging jobs, don't come crying to me that life is unfair and your need to be taken care of.

    Another typical morning in America. Broke Americans buying crap they cannot afford in the first place that was only updated not to long ago.

    I love my I-Pod and my current I-Pad. Does the job.

    So later on in life when the majority of Americans are trying to cook those I-Pads they couldn't afford in the first place for dinner, don't come crying to me your'e hungry. I am tired of your sob stories.

    I give my money to St. Judes hospital, to the kids who really deserve and need help because it is the next generation of people that are going to have to pick up the pieces once these current generations finally die off and stop wrecking the country.
