CBBB, i guess you don't have one to consider them useless! i no longer need my laptop at home, iPad is far more adequate and pleasant than holding a laptop around the house wired to the wall all day.

The other accessories can also be ordered online new for a lower price.


exact items i am selling from pix mania with delivery to Cyprus = 777 euro - 5% cy5 discount = 740 euro (original ipad case + invisible full body shield)

Still a hefty 200 euro more to buy this new from the 550 am selling it in a perfect as new condition!!! :) :)

Sotos if you are planning to buy a new device then simply wait 1-2 months till the new ones are available, but its gonna cost you 300+ of what i am selling to get a new iPAd 2 3G 32GB + a case + a screen protector to keep you device protected.

Yes, it is something you can put in your pocket and take it anywhere!! You might as well use a laptop, which is much more user friendly.

LOL!!! you have nailed it there!!! so your laptop is portable and more user friendly? come on don't be so short sighted!

Hell most of the times we go somewhere with my wife iPad fits perfectly in her Bag! so i can sneak it out if i get bored at her parents house :) :)

Ask my 2year old and my mom which is more user friendly. they both definitely can not use my laptop! but they both definitely didn't need instructions to use the iPad!

I don't know how you came up with that price. Did you add the shipping for each item separately? You pay shipping only once. But you can buy the ipad case from elsewhere, and you don't need a full body shield along with a case. At most you can add a screen protector. So iPad 3G 32GB + case + screen protector, all new, would not be more than 640 euro.

that's the total price with shipping pix-mania gave me in total for the items am selling! not sure if you are selecting the correct items! anyhow pointless on arguing about it, if you can get a better deal for less by all means go for it! Cant argue about it :) I am even selling this low since i bought it at a decent price from the uk. Most people in Cyprus got ripped off by buying iPas locally for double their selling price so they prefer to keep them around than selling them really cheap. Was gonna sell my other iPad 16gb wifi for 350-400 but opted to keep it around for my little daughter to play with :)

P.S. Sotos a case alone wont protect the screen! when you buy an iPAd definitely buy a screen protector to keep the screen free of scratches! the aluminum back is less prone to scratches than the glass screen, buy first a screen protector and then a case if you ask me! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_H3Q94FlXs

Better sell your original ipads quickly before people in Cyprus realize they can now get them online much cheaper ;)

ipad is good for content consumption not very good for content creation. There are apps that can do large documents but to type long texts you need a full size keyboard. There is no outlook for ipad but it has its own email app and you can also download other email apps, and is has no problem to handle email.
