lol Let's face it, 99% of the people on here wanted one because it was cheap, with very little idea of what it can do. Noone will go for an alternative. I would bet the majority of people who actually got one will use it to watch youtube videos and post on facebook - oh, and try to look cool in public!

Lol that's true with most of what comes on this board isn't it,people wouldn't have considered it or wanted it until it suddenly became cheap!I always find the 'oh I should get that because it's cheap' thing rather bizarre!!

My other half has wanted one for ages though but doesn't like to pay out loads of money for things for himself,so it would be brill if I could get him one

its hardly huge, and youre a mug if youre not putting it in a case anyway so who would know?

For that price I would expect a refurb without dents in the casing, just like the cheaper ones direct from apple.

This is an ex demo, not a refurb. If you have ever been into an apple store and seen how the demo equipment is used, dropped and god knows else what you would have doubts about whether to risk your money too. Adding to this, the ipads are left switched on for weeks on end in stores so don't be expecting a very healthy battery life.

The only mugs are those that actually fall for the offer and hand their money over to the douches at boffer.

Argos is getting more stock on 11 Sept into code '621', wherever that is.

Haven't they bought enough already?

I'm not accusing anyone here, but Argos staff have been caught cancelling customer reservations and taking the touchpad for themselves or telling customers its been collected so they can then take it. I think a senior manager had to apologise for this.
