God that's low selling your old iPad to your sister... It doesn't come with any earphones, none of the iPads do to my knowledge... Got one for m man the othe day, ordered on Wednesday and received on Thursday morning. Thing runs like a dream...

Bought a refurb iPad 2 two and a half weeks ago for 379, had to return it after two days as it was faulty and still haven't received a replacement. Kick in the teeth that had I waited I could have had the iPad 3 for ten euro more now!!

Unless things have changed, none of them come with earphones

Have a look at the ipad mini, small screen, no retina display, not as powerful as ipad3 and soon to be €130 dearer then a 16gb nexus 7. Ipad 3 is current gen ipad 4 is a minor update and will make your old ipad assecories obsolete.

Yep, loving the upcoming Christmas Tablet wars. It's going to be a field day for consumers in the big outlets because they will have shed loads of tablets and little customers to spread across the range. The manufacturers and wholesalers will be tripping over themselves to cut prices.

Shame I'm in the market for an Ultrabook. I have a Samsung 10.1 for work and its all a bit of meh. Prefer Laptops.

Have a look at this site as it gives ya the quantities left of each model and you can also create email alerts as to when some items come into stock
http://www.refurb.me/ir/

BTW it also shows almost all available apple refurb products and not just iPads.. (iPhones seem to be excluded)

Not sure I trust a site that spells Ireland "Irland" in the country drop-down.

And the testimonial - "The Refurb Store widget meets my desiderata perfectly..."

Eh??

That would be the French for Ireland. It just pulls the availibily from apple, it then links you to the official apple store. So their I no trust element.

There's a trust element involved with anything that requires personal data, even if it's just an email addy.

Lord spence does say that. He calls one the iPad 3 and the other the new iPad.

Not explicitly. The iPad 4 announcement went under the radar a bit (because of the Mini) and confusingly the Apple website refers to iPad Mini, iPad 2 and 'iPad with Retina Display' as opposed to iPad 3 or iPad 4, so the meaning of 'the new ipad' isn't entirely clear.
