MacRumors is reporting that Wal-Mart is set to begin offering the Apple iPad, with some stores already making the popular tablet available.
In May, the giant retailer announced the iPad was coming “later” in 2010 with no set time frame.
Just last week, Target began selling the device in 1700 brick-and-mortar stores in the United States.
The site has posted an email which shows all six models becoming available, as well as a number of accessories and a second email which shows availability in 1000 stores by the end of October.
There are 2800 Wal-Mart “SuperCenters” as well as 750 smaller stores meaning the iPad just got a massively expanded presence.

According to some digging by MacRumors, the iPhone OS 4 should allow for 720p video recording support, including video capture, editing and conferencing.
The latest beta SDK shows the update, which allows for a much higher resolution than currently available (640×480).
Macrumors shows the new preset values found in the SDK, which read:
AVCaptureSessionPreset640×480
AVCaptureSessionPreset1280×720
The upcoming iPhone 4G/HD will have a 5MP camera, but it was unclear what kind of video capabilities the hardware was capable of.
The new phone is expected to launch in late June.

According to reports by TechCrunch and MacRumors, Apple has ordered a large amount of cameras normally used in iPhones, suggesting that an upcoming iPod Touch will include the cameras.
Says TC, Apple has “placed an order for a massive number of camera modules of the type they include in the iPhone. These are inexpensive cameras, in the $10 range. And the size of the order, our source says, means they can only be used for one thing - the iPods”.
MR posted a pic of what they are calling an ‘iPod Touch 3G’ case, which includes a hole in the back for a camera.
Any upgraded Touch would most likely include a bump in RAM, an updated GPU and a faster processor as well.
