The iPad 2 arrives in Australia this week and while plenty of people will be taken in by the new features on board Apple’s tablet device…however with the new hardware comes a great opportunity for anyone who’s toyed with the idea of buying one, but was put off by the price.

How? Well, check out eBay and a number of online retailers and you’ll find the the original iPad is now being sold much cheaper…either by people offloading a second hand device so they can buy the new model, or by stores clearing unsold stock.

If owning the latest model isn’t your priority check out online retailers like www.oo.com.au for new original iPads and ebay.com.au for both used and new models.
