    Hmm, yes, well if McCain gets elected, we'll all be shopping at Wal*Mart a lot more.



    But if Obama gets elected, we'll all be shopping at Good Will, so Steve better change his vote for the sake of iPhone sales.

    Shit...AT&T is bad enough, now Best Buy and Walmart will be sending all their customers to the local Apple Store to fix all problems.



    "I didn't know I needed an appointment, I JUST BOUGHT THIS AND WALMART WONT TAKE IT BACK!!!!!!! ME ME ME!!!!!

    Don't you mean McCain? I mean since the Republicans have been in charge I've been forced to move half way across the country because they just don't give a rats ass about the middle class. Or are you so rich you have nothing to do but leave stupid comments on the internet?

    There a big difference between smart and cheap.

    No- Verizon simply wouldn't cut them a deal.

    On Topic:



    There are people that shop at Wal-Mart who may never step into a Best Buy, Apple or at&t store. These folks will now be exposed to the iPhone. People also likely shop at Wal-Mart much more frequently than at Best Buy, Apple or at&t stores so they are likely to be exposed to the iPhone more frequently.





    Not As Much On Topic:

    Maybe. But smart people are also always looking for good deals and better prices.



    Finally, what does it mean to be "cheap"? Is it "being cheap" if someone spends less money on something that you or I think they should? People value different things at different prices. Some people can only afford some things at a lower price.

    Don't they also censor music lyrics at Wal*Mart?

    Just a question for anyone who knows: does Wal*Mart sell phone plans?

    Bush is NOT a real Republican. He has been the most liberal spender ever elected to office. Obama will spend even more, so if you want a preview of the economy under an Obama presidency, take a look at the last 8 years. I'm not pushing McCain either, as they will both ruin the shambles of an economy that we have left.



    And, no, I'm not rich, I make less than the median gross income... but if Obama wins, it would probably be more lucrative for me to quit and live off the government.

    Even Home Depot would be better.

    Target, Macy*s- anything.

    Wal*Mart = PUKE

    What's next- Joe's 99cent store?

    Yeah and the reason they can do that is they have ~25%+ of CD sales. Many artist protested but if they don't agree to a censored version and not get sold in Walmart, they automatically lose +25% of sales. From a business standpoint, not a good thing to lose.

    I'm sure Sam Walton is trying to dig his way out of the grave & take his company back from his kids.

    I'm aware of the state of their web site. I'm also aware of this.

    There's yet another difference between knowing all of your purchasing options and spending less money where it makes sense.

    Not sure, but they do have a cell phone area staffed with friendly, knowledgeable employees.

    You must not be a stock owner. If you aren't, you should think now about buying as much as you can afford. Regardless of Steve's position in the company in the near and far term, AAPL is way undervalued right now.
