They're selling refurbs at Apple for $350.

I don't see that much new on the iPad 2.

I have a $550 Apple gift card. I'm leaning toward the refurb that has the same guarantee, and having left over money for apps and whatnot.

What should I do?

I went ahead and bought the first version for $349. If I change my mind, I can return it and get the newer one.

I guess it makes sense for my economic situation, and since I don't see absolutely needing that camera ...

If the new iPad had a dedicated usb slot and a memory card reader or a great camera .. I would have splurged.

With arrangers, I like to get the latest model. That's my profession. With gadgets, I can live off the leftovers.

BTW, Mikey I hope your wife is doing well. You two look really cute together.

I had cold feet.

My wife is also sick. We don't know what's going on, but I have a gut feeling she has multiple sclerosis. Her right arm has no strength, and she's feeling tingling in her other arm. Of course, I hope it's just a pinched nerve in her spine, but there are other factors ...

I think I'm going to sell the $550 Apple Gift card on Ebay or Craigslist. If my wife does have MS, it's going to be tough getting by.

That sounds tough with your good lady, I hope things work out OK for you both, my regards. The Ipad is not you main worry I can see.
