Walmart is feeling the Apple love today as it begins selling the wildly popular iPad. Unfortunately, in an untypical Walmart fashion the dominant retail will follow Apple's pricing with the cheapest iPad starting at $499. The list of Walmart's carrying the Apple device has not been disclosed, but it is thought to be in the hundreds. By mid-November Walmart states the iPad will be in 2,300 stores nationwide. The iPad will also appear on the Walmart website and you can purchase one from there, but you have to pick it up in store.
Apple initially struggled to keep up with demand for the iPad when it was released. An international launch had to be postponed due to strong demand for the tablet in the U.S. which saw sales surpass 500,000 units in the first week. Since then manufacturing has caught up and millions of iPad are shipped every month. [
