“We anticipate being able to have the iPad later this year,” Gary Severson, senior vice president of entertainment for Wal-Mart’s U.S. stores. Wal-Mart is pushing out more electronics such as Flat-screen TVs, Blu-ray players, Cell phones and routers to name a few. Best Buy is also pushing out more electronics this season. Apple has not mentioned any retail partners since the iPad launched. Wal-Mart is also not mentioning any prices at the moment but we might expect a slightly cheaper price than one could get from Apple directly. Only time will tell.
