Walmart will sell the Apple iPad starting Oct. 15, the retailer announced Tuesday.

The popular tablet will be available in hundreds of Walmart stores starting Oct. 15 and expand to more than 2,300 locations by mid-November. The company did not provide details about which stores would initially carry the device. The iPad will also be available via Walmart.com, where users can order the tablet and have it delivered to a nearby store for pickup.

Walmart will sell all six versions of the iPad, starting at $499 for the 16GB Wi-Fi only version and going all the way up to the $829 64GB Wi-Fi plus 3G iPad.

Last month, Target announced that it would start selling the iPad in all its stores on Oct. 3. It's also available in Apple retail stores and on Apple's Web site.

Walmart already sells the Apple iPhone.

My Experience

I started out covering tech policy in DC for The National Journal, where my beat included state-level tech news and all the congressional hearings and FCC meetings I could handle. I later covered Wall Street trading tech before switching gears to consumer tech. I now lead PCMag's news coverage.

My Areas of Expertise

Getting my start in DC means I still have a soft spot for tech policy; Congressional hearings can sometimes be as entertaining as a Bravo reality show, for better or worse. But PCMag is all about the technology we use every day, as well as keeping an eye out for the trends that will shape the industry in the years ahead (or flop on arrival). I've covered the rise of social media, the iOS vs. Android wars, the cord-cutting revolution that's now left us with hefty streaming bills, and the effort to stuff artificial intelligence into every product you could imagine. This job has taken me to CES in Vegas (one too many times), IFA in Berlin, and MWC in Barcelona. I also drove a Tesla 1,000 miles out west as part of our Best Mobile Networks project. Of late, my focus is on our hard-working team of reporters at PCMag, guiding and editing their robust coverage.
