Wal-Mart threw a grenade Best Buy's way with the announcement that the retail behemoth is adding a boat load of new electronics. On the TV side, more Samsung models will be available, as will sets by Vizio in the 26- to 42-inch range (this includes the 42-inch, sub-$1,000
Vizio VP42). Home-theater-in-a-box systems from both Sony and Phillips will be offered and stores will now have a "camera bar" where shoppers can get a hands-on with some of the new digital cameras also being added to the retail giant's tech offering.
Most surprising, however, is the addition of
Skype Internet phones to Wal-Mart stores. Skype is a technology that lets you make phone calls over the Internet for cheap (or free to other Skype users) and, though popular with the early adopter set, it is still far from ubiquitous. If anyone can help the cause, it's Wal-Mart.
