Wal-Mart is set to begin selling the Apple iPad in 2010 in the U.S., says one of the company's executives.
"We anticipate being able to have the iPad later this year," says Gary Severson, senior vice president of entertainment for Wal-Mart’s U.S. stores.
The exec would not provide any timetable, however, or whether they would offer a discount off the MSRP.
In the past month, Apple has sold 1 million iPads, its strongest new product launch.
So far, the device is only available through Apple directly or at Best Buy brick-and-mortar stores.
The Wi-Fi/16GB version of the iPad is available for $499, and the most expensive, the 3G/Wi-Fi/64GB version, sells for $829 USD.
