A Wal-Mart communiqué is showing that the iPhone3G will sell for $197/$297 and not $99 hoped by some despite Amy Poehler’s crack reporting. (video after the break) The 8GB and 16GB versions, with their $2 discount, will go on sale December 28, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. Will there be a line of soccer moms and dead beat dads waiting to get their dirty hands on the Wal-Mart iPhone? If so, we better get some sweet pics.
This is still an odd pairing to me. I am surprised that with their market power WM couldnt get a more attractive price point. I guess Apple’s already proven they dont need WM to be successful and its certainly not a commodity.
One wonders WHY they are so desperate they think they need to have their iphone name downgraded with a low end model at filthy walmart stores
