It's Official: Walmart Will Sell iPhones

My wife has an Iphone and she loves it. She will probably be pissed off when she found out that she could have gotten it for 99 dollars at Walmart. Only if she had something called patience. LOL

Walmart on Monday confirmed rumors that the retail chain will sell iPhones.

Employees in the cellphone departments of five California stores said they were training to start selling the device by the end of December, according to Bloomberg.

Gadget blog The Boy Genius Report was the first to leak rumors about Walmart carrying iPhones. The publication also hinted at the possibility of Walmart selling a 4GB iPhone for $99. However, this rumor is appearing unlikely to be true: MacRumors reports it received training and advertising materials for Walmart's iPhone, and there are no indications of a $99 model.

Walmart will become the second mass-market retail chain to carry Apple's phenomenally successful iPhone. In September, electronics retailer Best Buy was the first to do the honors. Getting help selling iPhones from a pair of the largest retail companies will only elevate Apple's domination over the mobile phone industry.
