In case you needed another place to buy the iPad, try your local Wal-Mart
Section: Apple , Computers , Mobile Computers It would appear as if Wal-Mart is getting ready to begin selling the iPad. Not only have we seen images of the iPad hitting the store shelves, but we also have what appears to be some legitimate pricing. So far nothing overly surprising in regards to the prices as they appear to be the same as what Apple is selling them for. In other words, expect to pay $499, $599 or $699 for the 16GB, 32GB or 64GB Wi-Fi only model and $629, $729 or $829 for the 16GB, 32GB or 64GB Wi-Fi + 3G model
