I go to Wal-Mart at least three times a month. It has everything I need: clothes, barbecues, mountain bikes...all of which I've bought recently. Even more, the one near me is a Super Wal-Mart, so I'll find myself there after midnight shopping for stuff (hey, it's the best time to shop!). So, I was excited to learn today that Wal-Mart will be offering a better selection of electronics in its stores. Shoppers will even see "bright new displays highlighting specific products with easy-to-read details." (I hope that includes price tags, because sometimes they're non-existent on products, and I can never manage to find a price-checking machine!) Some of the electronics you can expect to see will be:
-
Skype certified hardware--headsets under $15, web cameras under $25, handsets under $30, Skype pre-paid cards.
-
Wider Assortment in HDTVs--Vizio's 26, 32, 37 and 42-inch flat panel television models; Samsung TVs; above 40-inch LCDs with 1080P sets by Polaroid and Philips.
-
Improved Home Theatre Systems--New systems by Philips and Sony.
-
New Digital Camera Assortment and Style--New cameras from Samsung, Kodak, HP, Canon and Nikon; Digital photo frames from Kodak and Polaroid.
Kevin O'Connor, vice president and general merchandise manager for
consumer electronics, says "In continuation of companywide sustainability efforts, we are committing that all future electronics products ordered for our stores are RoHS compliant...and [we] also continue to encourage environmentally friendly packaging with electronic items."
