"We anticipate being able to have the iPad later this year," says Gary Severson, senior vice president of entertainment for Wal-Mart’s U.S. stores.
The exec would not provide any timetable, however, or whether they would offer a discount off the MSRP.
In the past month, Apple has sold 1 million iPads, its strongest new product launch.
So far, the device is only available through Apple directly or at Best Buy brick-and-mortar stores.
The Wi-Fi/16GB version of the iPad is available for $499, and the most expensive, the 3G/Wi-Fi/64GB version, sells for $829 USD.
