This year's Fourth of July shopping spree has just become more fun: Head to your local Wal-Mart (or order online from their website) and profit from the special Independence Day deals on a range of Apple iPad purchases.

The Apple iPad Air - both the 32 GB and the 16 GB versions - and the iPad mini Wi-Fi are currently all $50 off their regular retail price at Wal-Mart.

Thanks to this Fourth of July rollback offer, the Apple iPad Air 16 GB is $349 right now, instead of the previous $399. This seems a pretty fair deal for a device that is 20 percent thinner than a fourth-generation iPad and features a 9.7-inch Retina display, an A7 chip with 64-bit architecture, high speed wireless and a five-megapixel iSight camera with 1080p HD video recording.

If you prefer a bit more space for your work or play needs, the much celebrated Apple iPad Air 32 GB is down to $399 from $449, making it a good bargain as well. A multi-tasker's dream, this lightweight baby comes with the same features as its 16 GB cousin but with extra generous hard drive space to boot.

Or you can keep it extra light and handy and get yourself an iPad mini Wi-Fi for $199 as opposed to its regular price of $249. This little powerhouse features a 7.9-inch LED-backlit display, an A5 chip, built-in Wi-Fi and a five-megapixel iSight camera with 1080p HD video recording. There is quite a lot of good stuff packed into its slight form, making this device ideal for people on the go.

If you need a new iPad, now is a good time to make a move before the prices might go back up to their regular levels. So make use of Wal-Marts July 4 specials and celebrate Independence Day in style with a brand new iPad in hand and $50 more cash left in your pocket!
