As long as supplies last, the old and busted version is $100 off. Refurbed and old and busted is $350 (which I have to say is pretty damn good to get you in on iPad action) though I don’t see any of those in stock at the moment.

Refurbished 1st generation iPads have just had their prices adjusted to account for the release of the iPad 2. 16GB wi-fi are $349. A killer deal if you ask me and perfect if you can’t swing $499 but want to get in on iPad action :)
Keep in mind that Apple offers a full warranty with all refurbished items and you can still buy AppleCare for refurbished items. Honestly, opening the box you’d never know it had been refurbished.

1GB of bandwidth… well, if you’re doing mostly web surfing and email, you might be ok with 1GB. It’s tough to say. Stay. Away. From. Streaming.
To give you a gauge, I stream a lot of Pandora and BBC podcasts on my phone and I’ve busted through 2GB every month since I’ve owned my iPhone. There’s been months I’ve gone close to 4GB. I’d have a hard time staying under 1GB. However, you may be ok.
Get ‘em while they’re hot. $429, $70 off! Apple also has a 32GB iPad for $499, the same as the brand new 16GB.
If you hadn’t heard of these, you have now, and you should go get them :)
Not sure about the iPad, but on my iPhone or my prior iPod Touch, if they are/were stone cold dead it would take a few minutes of juicing up before any response whatsoever. With the iPad being all battery, I wouldn’t be surprised if it needs to juice up a bit.
20 minutes seems a bit long, but maybe that’s normal. You can try holding the home and lock buttons for about 10 seconds and that should give it a hard reboot and may spring it to life (if there’s sufficient juice).
Sit on that cash. Rumor’s looking like sometime in mid/late Q1 2011 for the new one. I’m holding off too.
