WalMart To Sell iPod Shuffle?

Hope this deal makes its way North to Canada, I have checked some of the local Electronic stores that carry Apple products and no sign of the Shuffle. :(

Need I even mention that Walmart's music store doesn't support the iPod, or rather they use WMA? Funny how all these folks want a piece of the pie, but don't have the guts to take a stand against M$. Can't have it both ways kids.

What does that say about WalMarts online musicstore then?
They are just seeing it as a commodity I suppose.

As for Canada, (that's the country above you stateside Americans by the way) if you pre-ordered one, three weeks from today. If you are expecting to walk into anystore and see one on the shelf somewhere's with Apple products/local dealer then the wait will be 4 weeks from today.

Though I see your point, Wal-Mart does carry OTHER flash players. :rolleyes:

Yeah not as good, however its a great introduction point for Apple. Just because someone shops at Wal-Mart doesn't mean they buy EVERYTHING from there. :rolleyes: :)

It's not exactly like Apple is selling licenses for Fairplay to other online music stores who want iPod compatibility....

I wonder if Walmart would be allowed even a modest discount on their pricing. That would be very typical of Walmart, but singularly unbelievable for Apple.

Next 7-11! JK Why not if it helps Apple.

I wonder if this will help sell Shuffles? :p :cool:

For this to happen Apple will release a new product called the iPop, you take the iPod name and flip with rotate the "d" in iPod and you have this. :)


iPop is a new flavour candy that looks like the Shuffle only edible and cost 99 cents. ;) :)

Wal Mart is slimey, I hope it doesn't stick. Good move though, despite how I feel about Wal Mart. The Shuffle is a bargain and Wal Mart is King of distribution. Maybe Apple can be a positive influence on Wal Mart. At the very least it exposes a lot of people to a better computer with a superior OS, assuming consumers are content with their iPod Shuffle and start looking at other Apple products. The Mini Mac comes to mind, it's price level is close to the Unix machine they offer but is so much easier to use. Wal Mart would have no problems supplying cheap peripherals either.
