Nexus One “coming soon” to Walmart Wireless

Chris Davies, Jan 26th 2010 Discuss [0]

Analysts blamed Google's comparatively lackluster first-week Nexus One sales on the Android 2.1 smartphone only being available through their online store, but all that could be changing. A Walmart Wireless product page for the Nexus One has been spotted, suggesting that the smartphone is "Coming Soon". Read The Full Story

Sony PS3 Slim Being Sold Early to Those Who Look Hard Enough

Evan Selleck, Aug 25th 2009 Discuss [0]

So, we'll admit that that title may be a bit misleading. Why? Because it looks like people aren't having to look that hard at all to find a few random (or perhaps not too random) pieces of Sony's new hardware floating around in retail stores. If you'll remember right, Sony said that the Slim wouldn't be sold until September 1st, but it's beginning to look like that release date might not have been as set in stone as originally thought. Well, let's hope that's the case, or there's a lot of stores out there breaking that one cardinal rule. Read The Full Story

Walmart recall 1.5m bargain DVD players over fire risk

Chris Davies, Aug 21st 2009 Discuss [0]

At just $29, Durabrand's DVD players were selling like hot cakes at Walmart stores. Unfortunately it turns out that they're also going up in flames like hot coals, so the retailer is having to recall around 1.5m of them. Apparently there have been twelve reported cases of the Durabrand player overheating, with five going on to catch fire and cause "property damage". Read The Full Story

37-inch Sony Flat Screen HDTV Turns Out to Be Something More Oven Fresh

In San Leandro California, things aren't always what they seem. At least not when it comes to high definition televisions. One man thought he had a full-proof plan to make some quick cash, but as police quickly showed him, things don't always work out the way you'd expect. Read The Full Story

Toshiba Satellite L355 down to $348 in latest Walmart deal

Chris Davies, Aug 13th 2009 Discuss [0]

It doesn't exactly hold up to their last laptop deal - which saw a Compaq discounted to $298 - but if you fancy a 17-inch display and another big-brand name then Walmart's latest notebook promotion may tick your boxes. Up for $348 is the Toshiba Satellite L355-S7915, a 2.2GHz Celeron 900 machine with 1,440 x 900 display, 3GB of RAM and a 250GB 5,400rpm hard-drive. Read The Full Story

Walmart $298 Compaq laptop: who needs a netbook?

Chris Davies, Jul 23rd 2009 Discuss [3]

If there's one thing this dour economy is good for, it's pushing down prices. Walmart have just announced that they'll be offering a $298 notebook, the Compaq Presario CQ60-419WM, complete with a 160GB hard-drive and 3GB of RAM, from July 26th at 8am. The promotion is part of the retailer's back-to-school sale, and they're unsurprisingly warning that stocks will be limited. Read The Full Story

ASUS notebooks & Eee PCs headed to Walmart?

Chris Davies, Feb 9th 2009 Discuss [0]

ASUS are eyeing up US retailer Wal-Mart as the next potential point of sale for their notebooks, according to the latest rumors coming out of Taiwan, as the company explores ways in which it can break the 1m US sales barrier. That means buyers will soon be able to find ASUS notebooks and netbooks, most likely at the budget end of the spectrum, on the shelves, as ASUS attempts to push past Acer's netbook lead. In 2008, ASUS sold 650,000 notebooks - including Eee PC netbook models - in the US. That's compared to Acer's 16-percent market share, with shipments in Q4 2008 alone amounting to between 1.4 and 1.5 million notebooks and netbooks. Read The Full Story

Wal-Mart to sell 3G iPhone gets Official, only $2 cheaper

Daniel Lim, Dec 26th 2008 Discuss [0]

An official announcement today confirmed the leak of an internal Wal-mart memo detailing its iPhone 3G rollout and nullified any $99 4GB iPhone speculation from the mega-retailer. Starting Sunday, Wal-mart will sell the Apple phones for $2 less than the regular price with a two-year contract to be available at its 2,500 chained-store. The “Every day low price” of the 8 GB iPhone 3G will be selling at $197 and $297 for the 16 GB version, not much of a deep discount we were hoping from the giant retailer. In fact, you can pick one up at local Best Buy for $7 less! Read The Full Story

Walmart iPhone 3G 8GB & 16GB on sale Dec 28th

Chris Davies, Dec 17th 2008 Discuss [0]

A letter purported to be from an internal source at Walmart seems to confirm that the iPhone 3G will launch at the retailer from December 28th. That tallies with the last tip we heard; however, contrary to earlier rumors, the model on sale will not be a cut-price $99 4GB iPhone 3G, but the same 8GB and 16GB versions already available elsewhere.

Walmart iPhone 3G rumors continue: 8GB for $197 on Dec 28th?

Chris Davies, Dec 8th 2008 Discuss [2]

More iPhone 3G rumors swirling today, as conflicting news about Walmart becoming the next official handset retailer comes to a head. Last week, the word was that a $99 iPhone 3G with just 4GB of storage would go on sale at Walmart; today, both Reuters and Bloomberg are suggesting the same thing, with a December 15th launch date tipped from a Californian Walmart clerk. However, Mac Rumors reports that leaked promo material confirms that, while Walmart will be selling the smartphone, it will be the existing 8GB model with a mere two dollar saving.
