iPad Hits Target Stores, Is Walmart Next?
Saturday, October 9, 2010 at 6:46AM Head on out to your local Target store and what will your see? Plenty of iPads for sale leading up to the holiday season.
Walmart, never one to be left out of a good fight is possibly next to get Apple's iPad.
MacRumors obtained some photos of some e-mails sayng Walmart will sell the iPad as early as next week.
The initial stock at Walmart stores will be 5 units of each iPad model and 10 units each of Apple's official iPad accessories.
The iPad will roll out first to 1,000 stores beginning "week 37" through the end of October, with more stores receiving the device in "the first few weeks of November," the report noted. Store displays will reportedly feature a covered "live demo unit" with a continuous video loop highlighting the iPad's features.
Most Walmarts have a small Apple secion in their electronics department right now. Those could quickly be used to sell the iPads while still offering iPods and other Apple products.
