Refurbished iPads may turn up to be far better deals for some

If you don’t care much for Apple’s inferior Black Friday deals or tablets with cameras on them, perhaps you’d like to take a stroll down the Apple Deals lane where a $399 iPad 1 with 32GB of storage and 3G networking awaits you.

That’s right, you get double the storage and 3G wireless for less the price of a 16GB iPad 2 WiFi, whose only noticeable enhancements are the cameras, and the slimmer design.

The content on Apple’s App Store rarely puts that A5 processor to work, so if you only need a tablet computer for web browsing, watching movies, email, and an occasional game, the A4-enabled iPad 1 is for you. In fact, Apple labels this as a Special Limited Time Price with $230 worth of savings.

The tablet boasts 10 hours of battery life, and the same 9.7 inch widescreen display with IPS technology as found on the iPad 2.
