According to an article on the Wall Street Journal, Wal-Mart is gearing up to revamp their consumer electronics departments to make room for featuring a wider selection of products from such brands as Apple and Nintendo.

Apparently a Wal-Mart rep told the MSJ that the move is supposed to maximise Wal-Mart’s share of Circuit City business and new departments will carry high end products as well as Blu-ray Disc players.

All well and good; however, the WSJ has also reported that contrary to earlier reports that Best Buy will have exclusivity with the Palm Pre, Wal-Mart will also carry the Sprint branded Palm Pre.
