I'm a longtime fan of refurbished gear--especially Apple's refurbished gear, which looks and operates like new and comes with the same warranty as the new stuff.
I speak from experience, having purchased several refurbished iPhones and iPod Touches. But I've yet to land an iPad this way--mostly because Apple didn't offer them. Until now.
For the first time, refurbished iPads are available from the Apple Store (online only).
Like their smaller counterparts, they come with a new battery, a new outer shell, and a full one-year warranty. You also get all the same accessories (USB cable, power adapter, etc.), and even the same free shipping.
So what's the catch? There isn't one. These units are literally good as new. The only noticeable difference is the box: refurbished iPads (and iPods and iPhones) come in a plain cardboard one. The only time I can see that being an issue is if you're wrapping one up as a gift--but even then, it's what's inside the box that counts, right?
