Yeah. Apparently WalMart is now stocking iPhone 3Gs in addition to AT&T, Apple, and Best Buy stores. That's kind of ridiculous. I know you're probably thinking "Wait, if it's WalMart, it's cheaper, right?" Yeah, the iPhones will be cheaper, but only by $2. Now you're probably thinking, along with millions of others, "Why even bother if it's only $2?"
Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for you.
The savings don't really seem like they're worth it in the long run. I realize that the economy is epic failing and consumers need to stretch their dollars as far as they can go but seriously...it probably costs $2 to make the drive to the nearest WalMart anyway.

I don't know about this. It's honestly quite annoying that Apple is now letting third-party stores sell iPhones. It just takes away from the exclusivity that makes them famous. I mean...come on, WalMart? That hardly seems like a place to sell Apple products like iPhones. Yeah I can understand them selling iPods but that's basically it. The $2 savings that you get from WalMart as opposed to an Apple store seems just like a slap in the face since it's just not worth it overall. At the same time, however, I can kind of understand that there are a lot more WalMart stores than there are AT&T and Apple stores so it's more convenient for people to buy iPhones if they want to, but still...it's just kind of ridiculous.
I really hope by this time next year I won't see Macbooks on WalMart shelves. If I do, I'll lose a lot of respect for Apple.
