Report first broke the story back in October that Apple would
begin selling the iPhone at Wal-Marts. The actual date of release
appears to be December 28th. Wal-Mart employees are already receiving
training on iPhone activation (see photo above). Today, a new report
claims that Apple may be reintroducing the 4GB iPhone to be sold at
Wal-Mart for only $99 with a two year contract.

When Apple first introduced the iPhone, it came in 4GB and 8GB
models. Only a couple of months later, Apple discontinued the 4GB model
altogether and dropped the price of the 8GB model. Apple currently
sells an 8GB ($199) and 16GB ($299) iPhone with 2 year contract.
Aggressive $99 pricing for an entry level iPhone would correlate with
comments made by Steve Jobs in October. Jobs said that they needed to
continue to be aware of a possible "price umbrella" below the iPhone
that competitors may take advantage of. Analysts have suggested that
Apple could feasibly sell the iPhone for $99.
