Wal-Mart Jumping Into Grocery Delivery Business?

It looks like Wal-Mart is diving into the home delivery business for groceries.  In the testing phase right now in San Jose, CA, if successful, one would expect an expansion into more markets across the country.  From the story:
"The "Walmart To Go" test allows customers to visit Walmart.com to order groceries and consumables found in a Walmart store and have them delivered to their homes, the spokesman said.

Products include fresh produce, meat and seafood, frozen, bakery, baby, over-the-counter pharmacy, household supplies and health and beauty items."
Pure speculation on my part, but I would count on Phoenix and Tucson being on any expansion list.  If so, would you consider using the service?  Full article here.
