Apple Rumored to Have $99 4GB iPhone At Walmart
      by Wyatt WalterAccording to rumors over at Engadget, Walmart is expected to start carrying a cheaper model of the iPhone 3G for only $99 with a 2-year subscription contract. The phone will be offered in a 4GB model for the lower price rather than the 8GB or 16GB offered directly from Apple and AT&T or Best Buy. Rumors about the deal flew earlier this year with a guess at a November 15 launch date at Walmart but that date has long passed. Pictures floating around of a iPhone Reference guide with AT&T and Walmart’s logos on the front inidicating that they will be training employees on activating the phones. A commentator on the Engadget article claimed to work at Sam’s Club (a sister company to Walmart) and said that the iPhone was coming just after Christmas, on December 28. It would make sense for Walmart to not release the product in their stores until after Christmas (after all, Black Friday’s already over), but the date is purely off a commenter’s word. Bringing a smaller model to Walmart could boost sales for the device and bring it to those who couldn’t afford the larger models.
