Wal-Mart Lands Agreement to Sell iPad

By

The iPad has been available at several non-Apple Store retailers like Best Buy and Target for a while but the WSJ confirmed today that the mother of all discount stores – Wal-Mart, will also be selling the iPad. Don’t expect it to be discounted though. This comes at a time when numerous other tablet devices are being released or announced so competition is starting to heat up.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said it will start selling Apple Inc.’s iPad on Friday at hundreds of stores throughout the U.S. Wal-Mart landed the tablet computer a little later than two of its largest retail rivals: Best Buy Co., which has been selling the iPad since its launch in April, and Target Corp., which began carrying it this month.
