Wal-Mart confirmed yesterday that it is to start selling Apple’s iPad from October 15. The Wall Street Journal has the story. This is an extraordinary move by both companies.
The cynic in me wonders if this move has been co-ordinated with Opwah Winfrey’s recent comments about the iPad.
When I started writing about the new Apple device long ago people said that it would be a fad and not impact print media. Wal-Mart’s endorsement is further evidence that the iPad journey is far from over.
There is still no information from Apple about it expanding its retail coverage here in Australia.
