Apple refurbs are a great deal. For iPads, the battery is brand-new, the outer shell is brand-new, the internals are not quite new but have probably been tested more than new, and you get the full one year warranty.

That $419 entry point for iPad 2 is great, even if theyre not always in stock.

that shipped has long sailed.

Not true. I visit the refurb store every day and routinely see different iPad (original) models available in both WiFi and 3G.
