What will Kyle do now?

[Pat Coyle]

Kyle Lacy said he'd stop buying Apple products if the iPhone is sold at Walmart.

Well, it's official.. And while rumors that Walmart will sell iPhones' at $99 are not true (yet), it appears that refurbished units are being sold by AT&T for under $100.

Kyle?

[Pat Coyle]

Here's the evidence:

[Ben McCann]

He didn't actually say "buy" he said "by" and what did he mean by that? Look closely.

[Andrew Ball]

I'm going with "TYPO"

[Bob Burchfield]

Stop BUYING or stop USING? If his current equipment is in good shape, he could certainly stop BUYING and continue USING long after we've all forgotten about it! :-)

[Paula Henry]

Bob - Excellent Point!

[Mike Seidle]

HA ... Today, I'm cracking open a new T-Mobile G-1 Android Phone as I get to take the lead in convergent style!
Take that iPhonies! YOU ARE WEARING A PIECE OF WAL-MART! Ok, it's a very cool piece of Wal-Mart...

Seriously - I don't think that Wal-Mart selling the iPhone is a symbol of anything other than Apple having another huge hit on their hands. iPhone is an excellent product, and I really don't want to flame the Apple zealots into a lynch mob today.

[Pat Coyle]

Are you not concerned about the WalMart zealots?

:-)

[Paula Henry]

WWKLD - My guess is Kyle will continue to use his iphone, will still be a MAC and shake his head in wonder that Apple would sell out it's brand to the local WalMart. Or, maybe he's out now replacing everything Apple. NAH..........

[Kyle Lacy]

I wont replace everything... but I am ashamed at the Apple brand.

[Theresa Browning]

Doesn't pay to be one of the cool kids on the block, does it?

[Kyle Lacy]

Oh wow. I had no idea this was going on... Thank you Lindsay Manfredi and Paula for cluing me in.. Well.. well.. It's official.

I will continue to use my iPhone but it is going to be hard for me to ever buy another Apple product again. There is no way that I will be switching back to the Blackberry and I already use a PC in my office.

I think they are degrading their brand name by offering the products in other stores... especially Walmart!

Its all about the money. It always is.
