    Here's what I think: I love my iPad. It's a 32g 3G, currently refurbished at $569 on apple.com. I'd sell it for $500 to upgrade.

    I don't know if that means anything to you (and I'm not trying to force you to buy it), but I'm looking to upgrade.

    you better wait for the version that is made out of Teflon so you can deflect the bullets with it when people start shooting at you for flashing them messages on the freeway. :eek:

    Repped. This clown is incredibly annoying.

    To answer the OP, I would do it if you can grab one for $350 or so. I'm holding on to my iPad at least until next year. The new one has absolutely nothing new of value to me. What's hilarious to me is the handful of friends I have who trashed my iPad when I bought it last year who are no bragging about getting the it ipad2s in a few weeks.

    To clarify, it would have to have 3G and preferably be the 32gb or bigger.

    Edited, not to throw in a clever passive-aggressive save for SwolyD, but to clarify on the topic at hand, lmao, reputation must be spread around.

    Yeah. The new one isn't that much different; really, all I ever wanted was more RAM. But with refurbs being what they are on apple.com, I don't really see why I SHOULDN'T upgrade if I find a buyer. I can undercut apple.com and use my discount to make my cost of upgrading like $80? Yes, please.
