First Refurbished iPad 2 Models Appear in Apple's Online Store

How is this deal even remotely good?

If someone is out there spending hundreds on a gadget, for the love of technology, get a NEW one if you are spending that much.

I don't ever buy refurbished products because YOU SIMPLY DON'T KNOW WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO IT BEFORE.

A peace of mind is worth way more than 50$.

Agreed, this is a minimal discount by Apple refurb standards. However, Apple refurbs in general are a great deal. I've bought several, my stepson (who works for Apple's tech support) buys them, and I have a friend who is a professional Web developer who upgrades his equipment fairly often because it's a tax write-off for him, and he only buys refurbs. None of us has ever had a problem. Refurbs are thoroughly tested before they're sold, and they carry the same warranty as new ones.

If the refurbished iPad is defective and I return it, will they replace with new or another refurbished one?

While both 'The Daily Show' and 'The Colbert Report' were on vacation last week, a grass-roots movement started to have Colbert host a rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, in response to Glenn Beck's 'Restoring Honor' rally that happened on August 28.

The movement for a 'Restoring Truthiness' rally started on Reddit, then spread to its own website. There are also multiple Facebook groups dedicated to gathering support for this rally to happen on

Not sure how well they'll do with the list of refurb units as they're presented right now.

With all the Fall rumours going around, I think that a lot of people will look for more of an incentive to buy a refurb now instead of waiting for a supposedly higher resolution iPad in a couple of months.
