£450? Have you compared what you're looking at on eBay against what you can buy on the Apple site? For reference a 16Gb WiFi 4th generation iPad is £399.

Yep :happy2:

I've ordered 30 iPads in the last 8 months for work. Couldn't have done that without VAT receipts!

I don't personally have a 3G one as I only tend to use it where a WiFi network is available.

We only buy Apple kit direct. The margins for resellers are non-existent, so you can very rarely get stuff any cheaper anyway. John Lewis is worth a look though. They normally offer a longer warranty period.

And I've no idea what jailbreaking is. I've heard it mentioned a lot, but it's not something I'd be interested in doing.

Remember to order via Quidco for 4% cashback!  :happy2:

As already mentioned, dont buy an iPad 3 when you can get an iPad 4th Gen for the same price. If you buy direct from Apple, you always know you are guaranteed to get the latest model.

Main difference with ipad 3 vs 4 is the 4 has a slightly faster processor and the new lightning connector so its more future proof.

If you want a cheaper option look at the apple refurbished section. All the refurbished items come with a full warranty and look brand new anyway. They just come in a plain box instead of the usual ipad box.

None in stock at the moment but the 16gb wifi ipad 3 is £315.

Yeah, I'm gutted about that. I ordered two early last week, just before the 4% offer came on :sad1:

Apple take bloody ages to pay out mind.

I bought an ipad 2 and im happy with mine.

Use it for web browsing rather than using my iphone. Prefer a bigger screen and for a few games.

Missus uses it for bbc iplayer and youtube.

Not really fussed with the camera as i have an SLR camera..

 Paid £260 brand new for a 16gb wifi from Dubai Duty Free  :wink:
