you can get a refurb iPad from Apple.com starting at $349 which includes the standard warranty. Refurbs from Apple are like receiving a new device. The Apple refurb process is quite thorough. Also, AT&T & Verizon are clearing out 1st gen iPads from stock a some quite insane prices. I heard of some for $289. If considering the iPad, visit iTunes and check out the extensive App selection.
