Ipad for sale in Wal-Mart: a good idea ?

Apple recently started selling the iPad in a number of other stores on top of their Apple stores, and the latest company who will be selling the iPad is retail giant Walmart.

Walmart will start selling the iPad from this Friday, October the 15th, and they will have both WiFi and WiFi + 3G models on their shelves, and will be retailing the iPad for the same price as Apple retail stores.

Apple is obviously looking to cash in on the holiday shopping season, and what better way to do this than to get the iPad in as many different retail stores as well as their own Apple Stores.

But the question remains to know if it is an appropriate retail strategy, given that the usual “winder” buyer is not really a Wal-Mart mom!
