Just in time for consumers looking for an early Christmas present: Apple has cut $100 off the price of the original iPad. This means you can grab a refurbished 64GB Wi-Fi or 32GB Wi-Fi+3G tablet for just $399.
It’s not clear how long the price change will be active, as the new prices come with a “Special Limited Price Time.” Although its not as if Apple has had trouble selling the devices, recent reports indicate the tech giant may be preparing to introduce the iPad 3 in early 2012. Also, Apple may be feeling some pressure from Amazon’s new Kindle Fire, a $199 tablet the online retailer hopes could loosen grip on tablet sales held currently by the Cupertino, Calif. company.
The Apple Certified Refurbished iPads come with a 1-year warranty, new battery and outer shell.
