Wal-Mart to Sell Macs?

Topic:

So Wal-Mart just started reorganizing the electronics departments of 3,500 of its stores, 2,600 of them Super-Centers. Part of this reorganization includes adding Apple-specific areas where customers can find only Apple products. Quite a few folks think that this is a sign that Wal-Mart is getting ready to start carrying Macs, in addition to i-Paraphernalia.

One of those folks is Ben Reitzes, an analyst from Barclays Capital. He believes that Wal-Mart is "actively pitching" for the right to sell a broader array of Apple products. Most Macs are far too expensive to do very well at a Wal-Mart, but there are several budget products expected from Apple in the near future, including a potential netbook release.

iPhone 3G could sell as low as $99 and T-Mobile G1 gets rolledback at Wal-mart

Topic:

The smartphone battle will still get a lot more interesting for us consumers on the pricing side of things. Analyst Charlie Wolf of Needham Research says that Apple can afford to drop the iPhone 3G price to $99 if necessary. Via Electronista.
