Report: Apple iPhone 3G coming to Wal-Mart, select Sam’s Club stores on December 28th
Wednesday, November 19, 2008 - 12:01 PM EST "It looks like Wal-Mart will indeed begin selling the iPhone 3G on December 28th in select locations only. When all is said and done, about 2,500 locations will offer the iPhone 3G. Some stores will also be getting live demo units to display just like Best Buy Mobile," Zach Epstein reports for The Boy Genius Report."What’s more, we’re also now getting word that 69 Sam’s Club locations (locations that use the Wal-Mart ordering system, not the Radio Shack ordering system) will offer the handset as well - also beginning on the 28th. As Sam’s Club is a division of Wal-Mart, this certainly makes sense," Epstein reports.

Philip Elmer-DeWitt reports for Fortune, "The deal, if confirmed, would represent the fourth major expansion of the iPhone’s retail presence outside Apple’s own 200-plus stores — first to AT&T’s 2,000 retail outlets, then to nearly 1,000 Best Bu outlets, and then to the tens of thousands of points of sale (many of them no more than mom-and-pop kiosks) that carry iPhones for Apple’s overseas partners."
