    If you don't care about facetime and the spec boost sure why not.

    I would go Craig's list before a refurb, personally. Plenty of Apple upgraders unloading their iPads right now.

    Personally, I think the price point is awfully high and am waiting to see if a more reasonably priced miniPad/megaTouch shows up in Sept.

    Why do you call it "iPad 1"? :confused:

    Do you call the Michael Biehn movie with Arnold Schwarzdalksjdhcuiewicnlkjncldksfccblncehcbwourcyowiuegger "Terminator 1"? :p

    Good Lord you are annoying. Why must you go in every thread and nitpick about some minor grammatical or semantic usage that has absolutely no effect on the actual purpose/intent of the thread?

    Everybody knows what the OP was referring too, and he used the term Ipad 1 to distinguish it from the Ipad 2. Whether he said "old" Ipad or Ipad 1 makes no difference.

    A rooted nook color looks pretty nice if you can find a discount for 200 bucks

    Still a bit expensive considering 350 is only the 16 gig wifi only. That wouldnt even hold all my music.

    I might consider one when the 32GB drops to under 300, if it ever does.

    Normally I lay off the internet confrontations but this is the second or third post of yours I've recently read that was like that. I find it annoying; usually, your posts don't bother me that much.

    If I took it out of context and it was some sort of joke, well then you are just not funny :p

    Found it annoying. Took advice. Had sex. Still annoying. Really annoying. Annoying to the point that I posted for the first time in months. Annoying to the point that I reset my password and spent time getting into that old email account I used when I first registered. You're annoying. I would put you on ignore but then I would still know that you're out there being annoying. Like a tiny annoying insect that you can't see with the naked eye but you know is there. Being annoying.*

    * I'm mean.
