Wal-Mart selling iPod mini at retail, shuffle next?

A select number of Wal-Mart Stores have quietly begun selling Apple's iPod mini, but declined to elaborate on how many of the company's nearly 5,000 stores are carrying the device, according to CNET News.com. AppleInsider, on Friday, reported that Wal-Mart and Apple are working on a agreement for Wal-Mart to begin selling the flash-based iPod shuffle and speculated that Wal-Mart may order as many 250,000 iPod Shuffles." Apple has expanded the iPod to several retailers, including Target, Best Buy, and Circuit City as well as Costco. The report also notes that HP also sells the HP-branded version at Radio Shack, Staples, and Wal-Mart.com, a separate divison of Wal-Mart; at least one report confirms that some Circuit City locations received a few iPod shuffles over the past weekend as well.

... on the other hand, doesn't.

I do have to say, however, that I never thought Apple would make a deal with the devil aka Wal-mart. I hope they know what they are getting into ...
