I would absolutely buy a refurb for myself (as it is basically brand new), but I just can't do that for a gift. And not an IOU either......

Funny you say that. I just bought a 16 gig 3g VZ ipad 2 for my wife. She can't shlep around her laptop constantly due to shoulder issues and needs a piece of gear midway between a laptop and smartphone for her business.

Unfortunately, RIM does not have the 10 inch playbook for sale and I won't get an Android device, and I didn't want anything that looks or smells like a laptop, since she already has a decent one.

So since she already has an iphone, sigh, optionless, I called on almighty Apple to help resolve my predicament; and they hast said even though I had posted negativity regarding said device on crackberry.com, they would grant me absolution and allow me to purchase said device.

So it's being delivered to the local apple store for pick-up. The choice of shipping destinations is actually pretty cool.
