iPhone at WalMart
by Andrew McCaskey
It looks like the iPhone is going deep for distribution. November 15, the iPhone will be available at US Walmart stores.
I can only hope that there is a better outcome than the Acer Vista Laptop special from 2007. I stepped into that line and came away with a very good price on a Vista laptop. It has only recently returned from it’s third trip under warranty and now – with a new motherboard replacement, it seems to be on track. The net cost – in money, time and aggravation addes up to one of the most expensive laptops I have ever owned – and customer satisfaction in the cellar (although I can be sure how much of the blame goes to Acer and how much goes to Vista). Neither is on the personal buy list. Ever again.
The move by Apple to push the iPhone through the same retail channel is either going to be a boon or bust. It should be just in time for what has been the biggest shopping day of the year – the Friday following the Thanksgiving holiday. With coverage in Walmarts and over 1200 Best Buy stores, there should be no person in the country that will be more than 20 miles from an iPhone outlet by this holiday season.
Even Walmart is going to have trouble moving this one. This year.
