Wal-Mart To Carry iPhone

December 28th is the big day for Wal-Mart. So if by chance on December 28th - you need frozen burritos, some snow boots, a car battery, AND an iPhone.... you're in luck.

iPhone Gaming Controls On The Way

It appears there are a few gaming control pads under development. The iControl Pad (pictured) is a prototype featuring a d-pad, four buttons and a start and select button. This could mean great things for jailbroken iPhone games - there's no way apple would let this be used with their appStore games (unless it was their own product).

Maybe this will push apple to produce their own versions of a game pad. That would be great, they always do a good job with hardware.

Orange Hires Actors To Stand In Line For iPhone

Orange - a wireless carrier in Poland - is hiring "dozens of actors" to "drum up interest" in the iPhone 3g. Apparently the iPhone isn't as popular over there as it is here.

This is a perfect example of America's "need it NOW" way of life. They have to pay people to stand in line over there, we have people that will camp out for weeks voluntarily.

I'm one to speak - I stood in line for 3 days for a PS3... :)

Wednesday's announcement by Best Buy expands the availability of Apple's vaunted phone to 970 full-size stores and 16 smaller Best Buy Mobile stores. It's also a coup for the Minneapolis-based chain, which has been upgrading its cell-phone departments.

"We had a lot of work to do, obviously, to get in a position where Apple and AT&T would feel good about Best Buy Mobile carrying it, and that's what we've done in the last 18 months," said Shawn Score, president of Best Buy Mobile.
