Official: Wal-Mart to Sell iPhones
We've heard the rumors, but now it's official: Wal-Mart will soon be selling everyone's favorite touch screen-handset.

Employees at several California-based stores confirmed to Bloomberg News that they were being trained to sell the iPhone. That would make the discount chain the 2nd major retailer to sell the handset -- Best Buy started offering Apple's phone in September. There is still no word whether or not we'll see a discounted $99, 4GB model.

According to one of the employees, the iPhone won't go on sale at Wal-Mart until December 28, which means they'll miss out on the holiday rush. [From: Bloomberg via Engadget]
