Apple is now selling refurbished current-generation iPads for as little as $488 (Australian) for the 16GB Wi-Fi version. If you want more storage or 3G, you’ll have to pay a little more, but that’s $50 off the price of a new one right there.
OK, so that’s not a blowout deal, but there’s no reason not to buy a refurb given that Apple guarantees you’ll be satisfied. [Apple via Cult of Mac via 9To5Mac]
