Does anyone know if there are any specials with a purchase of an ipad at the Apple Stores? I know sometimes they have specials going on, but the closest one to me is an hr away. Maybe someone has been to one lately that noticed something?
Got a tip for us?

I don't think so. You could call the retail store in question to ask. I've never heard of anything like this.

Specials are very rare. The only ones I can think of off the top of my head are on Black Friday, and even those aren't all the impressive.

You could save $30 off of MobileMe if you buy an iPad. But other than that, there aren't any specials that I know of.
This is the closest thing to a special you will find.

Pretty good deals there for same as new devices directly from Apple.

They rarely do in-store specials. At best you could hope for is a slightly reduced price on Black Friday or the ability to attend some free training/classes (although if memory serves anyone off the street can attend a free training/class/etc.). If you're looking to save some money, your best bet is to buy from their refurbished section online or scour eBay and/or Craigslist.
They also give away iPods when you purchase a new Mac too, prior to the new school year starting.
The refurbs above are a good option if you want full warranty. Also consider Craigslist for an even better discount at the cost of less warranty remaining (fixable with buying AppleCare). That's what I did - mine is like new and even adding AppleCare at full price i'd save money compared to a refurb when you add in sales tax.
