The Apple Store now stocks a selection of factory-furbished Apple iPad 2 tablets, as listed below. With free shipping, each is at the lowest total price we could find for a new one by $50. (We saw new units of all of these models for less in June, but they were available through phone orders only.) Sales tax is added where applicable. Now in black or white, the iPad 2 is 33% thinner and 0.2 lbs. lighter than the previous model. It adds a dual-core processor, both front- and rear-facing cameras, gyroscope, and more. There are also two separate models with 3G support, one for AT&T's 3G network and the other for Verizon's 3G network. Each carries a 1-year Apple warranty, the same as new units.
