My lovely wife has decided she would like to buy me an iPad 2, and I was hoping to find her the best price for it.
Best i've found so far for the 32gb wifi model is £469.20 (NHS discount through the apple online store). Anyone know cheaper?
Also.. anyone know what's better to go for; 16gb or 32?

If you want mobile phone capabilities, then the mobile companies do some apparently good options.
For me, the memory is a severe limitation, so even 64 GB (note it's uppercase GB - one uppercase 'B' is 8 lowercase 'b's, and a lowercase 'g' is meaningless in computing) isn't enough, and Apple's pricing model is to charge you about £100 per memory increment 16-32-64 GB, where it actually costs them pennies.0 -
I don't need 3G.. i have a good data plan on my HTC Desire HD.. if i need data on the ipad, i'll just set up wireless tethering.
GB vs gb ... if you knew what I meant, thats enough for me. I'm not trying to describe storage capacity on a hard disk, i'm describing products.0 -
My wife wants one too! I've decided the 16gb version is enough for my (her) needs as she will principally use it for Facebook. Like you, 3G is not required.0

A general tip about Apple shops - they will price match, although they don't advertise it.
I've bought two MacBook Pros in the last year and got £100 off each time.
The assistant told me it has to be 'in stock' at the other retailer - in my case it was Amazon.
She used one of the demo machines in the shop to check the site and agreed to price match after a word with her superior.
A general word of praise for Apple shops.
I've always found the staff charming and helpful.
Ultimately, they are just shops, but there's a certain style and panache about Apple which other retailers do not have.0 -
Well, the bigger question now is - where the heck can you buy one from!?0
-
i've been looking too - the prices seem to be set so it's whether or not you can get any extras with them, for example free engraving through apple or clubcard points on tesco - i'm going to go the tesco route but they are all out of stock atm0
-
ok.. Argos have got them in stock, with free delivery - 2 days wait (mine comes on Wednesday!).
1.5% quidco also... hey, it's 7 quid towards a case0 -
My Dad has just bought a 64GB iPad 2 WiFi only from PC World Web Site, it was delivered in 4 working days.
I did see Best Buys was offering 8% cashback via Quidco, but never had any non 3G iPad 2's in stock.
They are bit like Rocking Horse Do Do to find....0 -
