" iPad1's priced from R1,999 to R3,999 but alas very little left, pls phone stores first to check"
So I hurried along to my nearest Dion Wired only to find out that I was 25 minutes too late, all the Dion Wired stores were sold out by 9:15am this morning as I confirmed by calling, Fourways, Hyde Park and Woodmead. The 16gb Ipad 1 with 3g and wifi sold for R2400-00, that is half the price of what it was originally released for a couple months ago when it first came out. The salesman at Dion Wired a repugnant looking Indian man arrogantly told me that The Ipad 1 is obsolete and that I should purchase the Ipad 2.
I quietly walked out the store with no reply to his troll comment, but if I did engage him in conversation it probably would have went something like this.
Me : Hello, Mr. Salesman, I would like to buy an Ipad 1.
Salesman : The Ipad 1 is obsolete, we no longer sell it because we do not deal
in obsolete junk
Me : Were you born on the highway? Cause that's where most accidents
happen
Salesman : Why don't you get an Ipad 2?
Me : You cannot estimate the immensity of the fuck in which I do not give.
I just want the IPAD 1. The last thing I want to do is hurt you....
but it's still on the list.

So, lets see what happens in the coming months. I don't think that its fair that consumers are forced to buy these upgraded devices when older models will still suffice to a market that are stilling willing to pay good money.
