I bought the white 64gb Verizon 3G model for $470.
Seemed like a good deal. Brand new for less than apple's refurb price.
The retina display on the iPad 3 is awesome. I just couldn't justify spending the extra $$ for an ipad 3 w/3G.
This iPad will likely replace my Dell Mini 9 hackintosh for casual web browsing, email, etc. and take it with me on trips where wifi isn't always available.
I just did the exact same thing. After playing with a friend's iPad 3 for a few days, I went with an iPad 2. In my case, the performance benchmarks of the iPad 3 are not better for CPU based operations, so I decided to buy the 2 and wait for the quad core CPU (A6?).
