What? If there's any corporation with the resources to give a legitimate discount like this, it's WalMart. I have faith that they will have a significantly smaller profit margin off each device sold, even in the long run. I can see the motivation, though, being to use their massive assets to leverage themselves far above their competition like Best Buy and Radioshack...but what's new there.

Interesting thing is that why didn't they jump on this when the recession was in, and slash those iPhone prices then? Why now all of a sudden?

This is actually a very big deal since Apple does NOT slash prices for devices they sell to retailers. Margins are razor thin for the carriers (from what I hear) on actual hardware sales.

No interested on "The iOS Trojan Horse" devices, not even for free.
Now: if they are free.... then I will trow them down into the garbage can.
