iPhone Rumors Confirmed: Coming to a Wal-Mart Near You [View article]
I think AT&T wanted the phones at Walmart since they are an authorized AT&T reseller and I assume a rather large one. Walmart already sells all the ipods. As for macs don't expect them at walmart but I could be wrong. Best Buy is selling macs but the salespeople (pc term) at Best Buy are not apple caliber geniuses. For Apple, Best Buy gives them a special display area which sets Apple apart from the rest of the pcs. Walmart will do the same for Apple on the iphone, lots of show for little to no cost to Apple.
It almost seems like Apple is picking winners and losers in consumer electronics by selling macs at Best Buy but not at Circuit City. Now Circuit is in bankruptcy. They pick Walmart over Target, is that a warning to Targets consumer electronics department. We will see
