Will the Apple store match the $349 refurb? If so, I'll get one now.
You can't be serious.Eh I was definitely contemplating getting a refurb iPad 1 after the iPad 2 launch. I was really hoping for more like $250... *snip*
Eh I was definitely contemplating getting a refurb iPad 1 after the iPad 2 launch. I was really hoping for more like $250 though, only $150 difference instead of a device twice as powerful doesn't seem worth it. =\
Watch CL and Amazon and you will eventually find an iPad for $250. Might take awhile, but it will happen.

^ As is stated time and time again, you don't have to buy anything. You choose to buy it. It's quite simple.
Further, just because a new product is released doesn't mean the cost of production went down.
Even when iPad 3 is out next year, you would probably still be able to sell a first gen for around $300.
Bought one in mint shape - 2 months old on CL with nice case for $30016gb wifi model.

Yes, it's simple. We're conditioned to accept it. Read all the "hallelujah, the Ipad is gonna drop $100" and see for yourself.
While we're at it, I might as well read an AOL article on how we're lucky that gas isn't $5 a gallon yet, and I'll fall down on my knees and thank my lucky stars that we only pay $3.70 a gallon here.
They condition us to these things, and we accept them like the fools we are.

I have seen 2 on CL today for less than $300. I was a little slow on both but I eventually got a nice deal on a 64gb 3g. You will have to be diligent, but if you live in a populated area, you will be able to buy an iPad for under $300 this week.
Just picked up a 16GB WiFi refurb from the UK store for £ 289.00 - a bargain.
It's for my 82 year old father, who saw mine the other day and, without any instruction from me, took to the interface like a duck to water!
He'll be surprised when I hand it to him - bet he goes down the club and shows it off to all his (younger) mates![]()
Your 82 year old father goes clubbing?? AWESOME!![]()
