ha Nice point, Ipaul. Nice point. And I do make a decent living to pay for school and a place to live at least – just to say. But soon enough I’ll be a nurse, which’ll be awesome! HIGH FIVE!!

I think it’s sad that retail sales people are bashing each other on here . You guys should be sticking together ! Can’t you all just get along ? Surely you guys could form some kind of aliance . I mean , it’s not like you are going to start a union at work and make a living wage or something crazy like that ! You could at least gang up on the fast food workers !

Who the heck cares who's selling it? Yes it looses some of the appeal.. and that's how it should be, time moves on. It'll become the next sidekick-only it'll look a lil more classy when u see on EVERY SINGLE PERSON. haha

more importantly, WHAT KIND OF INSURANCE WILL WALMART PROVIDE??? THEFT INSURANCE...?? that'll be what wins new buyers over who still want the 16 or 8 GB.

TO ETHAN:

I work at Wal-Mart, and I can tell you that we are not slobs! Wal-Mart's co-op with both Verizon and AT&T is something we take very proudly. We represent those companies, and we only have one or two associates in the store who are licensed to sell cell phone plans. They are Wireless Associates. They recieve high quality training from the carriers themselves. We're MUCH more knowledgeable about our products than most of the 18 year old "Dude, you're getting a Dell!" potheads they hire at Best Buy. I went in to Best Buy not too long ago and asked to see their Blu-Ray players and the guy at the door had to get a group of three other workers to finally be able to point me in the right direction.

Everyone who says that its not happening they would never buy a 4GB for 99.00, regardless if all this actually happens, thats fine. But trust me there are plenty of people out there who would rather part with 99.00 than 199.00 or 299.00. Who cares if it only has 4GB istead of 8 or 16. People would sacrifice the space for saving money to have a product from a respected company who backs up their products. Everyone likes to save money! People do it everyday. Looking for ways to save money on the high quality products, especially in todays economy. So if this happens great! If it doesn’t then maybe it will in the future. Nothing lost nothing gained.

I am confused as some of my fellow new apple users. I have an 8g itouch and bearly touched past 3g. So are we saying if in fact the rumors are true it won’t be worth buying? I am getting ready to buy one at apple. I am one of those people who only use like 7oo songs and a few pics and a few games. If it was true this amount of space won’t be enough?

The 4 GB iPhone ain’t gonna happen, how can peploe beleive that stuff. Come in guys it’s Apple, they don’t make budget products! They produce quality but expensive gear for people that are willing to part with their hard earned cash. Apple inovates and doesn’t change their product line to grab more sales from people who wouldn’t be spending as much on music and apps anyhow. Just like they never released the $800 laptop.

@Nadine

Which do you trust more, some site called "mac rumors" or someone who claims to be a walmart employee and who frequents a site called "mac rumors" ?
