Walmart has announced that it has joined the ranks of Target and will begin offering customers the Apple iPad.

The popular tablet will be available in hundreds of Walmart stores starting Oct. 15 and expand to more than 2,300 locations by mid-November. The company did not provide details about which stores would initially carry the device. The iPad will also be available via Walmart.com, where users can order the tablet and have it delivered to a nearby store for pickup.

Walmart will sell all six versions of the iPad, starting at $499 for the 16GB Wi-Fi only version and going all the way up to the $829 64GB Wi-Fi plus 3G iPad.

Last month, Target announced that it would start selling the iPad in all its stores on Oct. 3. It’s also available in Apple retail stores and on Apple’s Web site.

My Take: Walmart needs to do something and fast. This store has not managed to hold it’s grip on customers’ when it comes to big-ticket itmes. The store sells AT&T smartphones, natural beauty products and even the popular disposable electronic cigarette. But it’s recent rollbacks on prices for certain items, not the no contract cell phones or Hollybeth skin care, but food items and bath and beauty products failed to get customers to spend their money on other things and now the giant retailer is reported to be nixing that program in hopes of boosting revenues up.
