I think that this could be a good move considering that it will attract many people who would otherwise not be able to afford one, great move.
Uhhhhh... I don't see Wal-Mart customers being able to afford a (US)$90+ a month cell phone bill. I'm not being mean, I'm just telling the truth.

I shop at Wal-Mart all the time. I started out with the first generation iPhone then upgraded to the 16GB first generation when it came out. I then upgraded to the white 3G when it came out. I don't understand your point. Just because I shop at Wal-Mart means I don't have enough money to pay my bills? Obviously you aren't telling the truth at all.
I was just at Wal-Mart today to buy a case for my new 120GB iPod Classic.

I work at Wal-Mart and there are all kinds. I've waited on trampy white trash AND well-dressed lawyers with blank checks in leather-backed 3-ring binders. Some people shop there because it's all they can afford, some people because they just like saving money, and some people because they like being able to buy all they need at one place.The other day, a guy who was obviously very wealthy bought three 16GB iPod touches for his sons, plus a $50 iTunes card for each. Subtotal of $1,041.
I once read in a self-help guide that the secret many wealthy folks have is saving their money. "Many redeem coupons, watch for sales, and drive compact cars," said the author. Shopping at a big evil corporation like Wal-Mart isn't just for rednecks, and isn't beneath everyone's dignity.![]()

Apple has never made anything in a cheaper model just for Wal-Mart. I highly doubt they are going to start with the iPhone.Anatomy of a rumor heh. While I'm sure Walmart is excited at an opportunity to carry the iPhone in it's Low Cost stores, I think the $2 off the $199 is a joke, and I'm sure Walmart sees it the same way.
To top that off, even though it's only $2 less, it's also a slap in the face to retailers AT&T and Bestbuy . Why does Walmart get to sell for $2 less? because they're Walmart ? right. I'm sure AT&T and BestBuy are delighted about this news.
I figure that if there is no gimped version that sells at $99 at Walmart only. Then Apple is going to take the current model and cut production cost on everything except the phone.
ie. Packaging, accessory contents, etc. So when you get your iPhone at Walmart you can get it for $169!**
