Now that the iPad 2 has been announced and is set for release next week, Apple has slashed prices for the original iPad models by $100. And they are offering some excellent prices for refurb models too – starting at just $349 for the WiFi-only 16GB model.

The price cuts run across all the original iPad models, so for example:

— A new 3G 64GB model is now down to $729.

— A refurbished top of the line 3G 64GB model goes for just $659

For all the details on the refurb models, see the Apple store page here:

So What Good is a Writer for an iPad Site Without An iPad?

Cool Infographic – The Selling Power of the iPad

February 27, 2011 Patrick Jordan

GigaOM has a great infographic post up, based on striking numbers extracted from a new report by Yudu Media. According to GigaOM the new report …

presents a very convincing case that when it comes to marketing and audience, few devices (tablets or otherwise) can compare with the iPad. The report collects the findings of a number of different surveys and research outlets, painting a picture of a device tailor-made to sell content, products and services.

Two of the numbers that jump off the page for me are these:

— 91% of iPad owners have downloaded at least one app – and 63% have downloaded a paid app.

— 50% of iPad owners read newspapers (on the iPad presumably) – and only 14% of other ‘E-Reader’ owners do.
