I don't know. But I am sure you can pay for it online. Also, I called my local Walmart and they have no idea whats going on..

Just talked to my friend whos a store manager, they have 3 cases to sell at midnight

Don't get too excited ... not all Walmart's are created equal and depending on where you live, the amount of iPads that they get in could be few to none ... it's all about demographics ... but .... they do already know how many they have and can check stock.

From Slashgear.com:

However, it looks like Walmart will only be carrying the $499 16GB WiFi-only version of the iPad. It will be available in both white and black, but it’s not clear whether Walmart will be offering the 4G LTE version as well. Other places that will start selling the new iPad tomorrow morning, include Best Buy, RadioShack, Sams Club, and Target. Make sure to check out our full review of the new iPad.

Yes Walmart seems to be for it crowd control

 

[reneepren]

And they are only selling the 16 GB model

 

[screwdriver]

hmm, I wonder if I will have better luck waiting here than the Apple store.

I had my secretary call our Walmart earlier today to inquire. She was told they will be selling the "$898 model" starting at midnight and they have 5 (YES, FIVE) available. She said they were promised to have more, but only got 5. Those poor people standing in line.

I wonder if word will spread fast enough to have some midnight madness going on? If I didn't already have one on order, I'd be driving around searching every Walmart in the area.
