    iPad Swapping out the Charge?

    You get a refurbished iPad, they fix your old one and give it to someone else as a refurbished product. Otherwise the repair time would take 3-4 weeks and you would go without.

    Quote Of The Day

    Also find it funny that Apples $2800 Desktop comes with a weak ass ATi 2600 XT Yes it has 8 Cores, But it can only handle a 8800GT graphics card for $150 extra! 2 GB of Memory w/ 8 Cores are you kidding me! Could possibly build this myself for $1400, I'm sorry I just hate Macintosh... -_-
