Are you kidding me??? December 26, 2008

Starting Sunday the Iphone will be available at Walmart??? Notice there’s no ‘hyphen’ between wal and mart. They’ve decided it’s time to change their image and blah blah blah. Walmart will always be a store for cheap plastic junk… I will not buy an Iphone from wally world, even though you’ll save $2, maybe from Best Buy where you can save $9 off of the retail price… but of course you must sign up for 2 years. I think this is Apple’s attempt to make their product available to ‘everybody’…. how many walmart shoppers are going to shell out the necessary funds to acquire this??? By my guess not as many as you’d think. Walmart is known for buying products with little known about the wholesaler who may be getting their products ‘hot’, or worse, defective. Dun, dun, DUNNH! Eh, I can’t afford an Iphone anyway… so what am I griping at??? I still shop at walmart because it’s closer than anything else.   Too bad Target isn’t close enough.
