iPad 2nd Gen

Is there any place where you can get a good duty free deal on one of these iPads. I fly Europe to Australia reasonably regularly so anywhere between those two spots that gives a good deal ? Also what specs would you choose for aviation applications ?

Any comments or advice appreciated.

Cool

To the best of my knowledge iPad is not generally available as a tax free item. In the uk it is sold at airports in tax free shops, but it is not tax free they give a small discounted price, and I mean small. The problem is availability, especially in the uk, it's not readily available.

Hmmm, thanks 'spannersatcx'. I suspected as much. I'll see what the best deal is I can get locally. Seems you like yours.

Someone mentioned to me a few weeks back about Thailand having lower prices on Apple products than most countries in the region, so maybe worth looking in that direction ?

Cool

If the exchange rate is favourable that's the only real saving that can be made as far as I can see, as the price is pretty much fixed.
