Apple Offers 'Special Limited Time' Pricing on Refurbished Wi-Fi iPads

Apple today announced a "special limited time" offer of reduced pricing on all three refurbished Wi-Fi iPad models in its U.S. online store, dropping the price of the 16 GB model by additional $20 and the 32 GB and 64 GB models by an additional $50 over the standard refurbished prices.
All refurbished iPads come with brand-new batteries and external shells and include one-year warranties. Refurbished iPad Wi-Fi + 3G models are not included in the special pricing and continue to be offered at $50 off relative to brand-new units.

Perhaps waiting for the 2nd generation iPad will be cost prohibitive now? ;) . Tempting to say the least!

Yes, longer term this is clearing them out before the second version is ready, but in the shorter term this is a Christmas special. Get the units out the door this quarter, have a blowout Christmas, more people try the iPad instead of something else.

Must be because I just got mine in the mail today (non-refurb at regular price for a gift).

Do the refurbished iPads have a retina display?
Yes, apple take returned models, refurbish them and then put in a better screen than the original. It's part of the super secret "let's test the retina display in old refurb models before releasing the iPad 2" strategy.
Are you for frickin real?
