Wal-Mart starts iPad pre-orders

Wal-Mart has started taking pre-orders for the Apple iPad via their website today, with the retailer having the tablet in stores starting on Friday.
The retailer is not allowing for home delivery of the device, however, meaning you will need to pick it up in-store.

Furthermore, Wal-Mart will reportedly sell the tablet through its gigantic Sam's Club warehouses.

All six models of the device are listed up for pre-order, starting with the 16GB/Wi-Fi version at $500 all the way up to the 64GB/Wi-Fi/3G model at $830.

The iPad has quickly made its way into major retailers in the United States such as Best Buy, Target, Amazon and now Wal-Mart, the largest retailer in the nation.

Estimates have placed overall iPad sales at 8.5 million to date.
