Wal-Mart Drops Price of 16GB iPhone 3GS to $97

Starting Tuesday, Wal-Mart is knocking the price of the 16 G-byte iPhone 3GS to its lowest price offer yet: $97.
That's a savings of $100 when purchased new with a two-year contract. Not only is that the lowest price that Wal-Mart has offered, but it's the lowest price on the handset in the U.S.
