Read over on Information Week Magazine that the iPad is being sold at Wal-Mart as of Friday October 15th 2010. Though Wal-Mart is not selling the iPad any cheaper than Target or other retailers the fact that it will be sold at this megastore will only further increase iPad sales and growth in the user market. With over 8.5 million iPad units sold since its release the iPad is being touted as the fastest selling technology gadget of all time!

How many readers have already integrated an iPad into their daily lives, how many have not yet starting using the product?

iPad is surely a great gadget to have but I don't think it's powerful enough to replace a notebook. For casual users, I think it should be good to work on instead of having a full PC but for multi-taskers, this model has issues which are expected to be fixed in next model. Then yes, iPad would give a serious competition to netbooks (not so sure about notebooks).

Looks like Verizon, Target and a few others are on that list. I guess Apple will be pulling in cash from as many directions as possible for this project.

I always like the Apple product. It is one of the brand product and trustful. The iPod is really very awesome one and easy to use like connecting to the system. It is more reliable to use and carrying to anywhere because of portability. But it is very expensive because of its brand value. I like buy this product Apple iPod from wal mart, it saving money. Thanks for sharing this nice post and providing information about Wal Mart. Thanks so much.

I like that Apple is getting their product out there but it's just still too expensive. I think consumers in the market for a computer while shopping in Wal-Mart are going to pass the iPad right up, partly because of the ridiculous pricetag.

Let's face it, when you go to Wal-Mart(Like i do semi-frequently), you're there to save money. I can only imagine that impulse buys would be extremely low nad most of the sales for the iPad at wal-mart would be from those who have already sought out the iPad to buy and like the convenience of going to a place down the street rather than ordering online.

I agree, I think $299 for a lower end model with less RAM would be ideal.

Hey Justin, my girlfriend (a freelance writer on top of a full time job and multiple other commitments) has toyed with the idea of getting an iPad because it is more portable than her giant laptop and can connect to the internet more readily so she can knock out articles in her down time. I already have a notebook so I don't see the point for me to get one, but for her and those like her, it seems like a good alternative.
