In an interesting new twist, an internal memo that has been leaked is suggesting that Wal-Mart will start to carry Apple’s iPhone. What is strange though is that this will not happen until after the holiday season. Some are suggesting this will allow the proper training of Wal-Mart employees and not overwhelm them during the buying season.What is unknown is if the iPhone pricing will be lower at Wal-Mart than at other stores.

According to this source, is also states that:

It’s not clear what price will be charged for the iPhone inside Wal-Mart, but it would be hard to imagine Apple embracing the idea of significant discounts even though CEO Steve Jobs has talked of needing to stay aware of lower-priced competitors. Wal-Mart also offers T-Mobile’s Android G1 phone, and though CNNMoney.com had reported that the famously low-price retailer would be offering the G1 for a $30 discount, a Wal-Mart store in San Leandro, Calif., was selling the G1 for the standard $179 on Wednesday morning.

One can only guess that Wal-Mart may offering the iPhone at a discount to compete with other phones, like Google’s, in the marketplace. This may be good news for consumers.

Comments welcome.
