And, realistically, how much are they going to be reduced by?
I expect not by much with them still being "hot".

Very unlikely. eBay daly deals had some with money off.

Zero. Sales are just to get rid of the stuff you couldn't get sell at full price so why would iPads be included?

£299plus vat at makro from boxing day for a 16gb wifi. I think.

Apple VERY rarely help support the big retailers by allowing them to price reduce on one product within a range for a day or two... I know this is happening on MacBookPro's in DSG stores tomorrow.
But iPads... LOL. NOT A CHANCE!
iPads can sell all day long at full RRP, store I work in sold more than 100 the week up to Christmas, 80 odd the week before. I don't think they're worried about the number of sales on it that's for sure, don't expect any money off any time soon. Look for interest free for 6 months offers, vouchers for your next purchase, and discounts on accessories when bought with the machine... ALL of which offered by DSG stores...

More likely you'll get a more expensive version with features you don't want plus an 'upgrade' to the OS that will render older models useless.

If you work for particular companies, or in the public sector you can get an 8% discount in apple stores.

Does that extend to iPads? Logging into the education store (via IP recognition) shows no discount on iPads.

Wee discounts on selected models are no uncommon, see hotukdeals.com

Apple stewdent discount is a good way to knock a few quid off, and significantly reduces the cost of AppleCare if you're buying a spensive machine. All you need to do is find a stewdent; either get them to purchase it and give them the money, or if there's one in your household, you can buy it 'for them' but still in yer own name. It's actually really easy; I lived in a shared place, flatmate was a stewdent, sorted the purchase it all over the 'phone without even having to provide any proof or owt! Saved well over £500 on a customised Mac Pro and AppleCare, about a 20% saving.
Also works if you work in 'education'. This includes all teaching staff, most admin and technical staff too.

Ah, ok, but I know people who've bought iPads and iPods and whatnot with an Apple Stewdent Discount though. And they're not stewdents (have them living with them and/or work in 'education'). Maybe it's something that only works over the 'phone, I dunno. .
Bloke I dealt with when I bought my Mac Pro said that we could have any Apple product and loads of other stuff discounted, simply cos we had a stewdent in our household. All we had to do was be able to provide proof she actually was (no problem), if asked.
Maybe this does not in any way work in stores. Cos the stuff has to be shipped to the store costing extra or something like that. All I know is that it was bloody easy to get that discount!

Really? What features on an iPad wouldn't you want then? And it'll be at least another two years before iOS renders some features on the iPad 1 unavailable. The iPhone 3Gs has been available for how long? It runs iOS 5.
I haven't tried installing iOS5 on my 3G, but it's four years old, so hardly an issue. There are brand new Samsung Android phones that you can't get official OS upgrades for.Posted 5 months ago # -
Why not by a normal tablet computer that's not a Ipad, as haveing a Ipad just shows the world what gullable loser sheep you are. As you can buy a much more powerfull product at a much lower price with a diffrent name on it.
However my really problem with apple is the total tossers they employ in their stores, youre not a **** genius mate, if you were you wouldnt be working in a shop.

You think they call themselves Geniuses, or do you think it's a marketing ploy by Apple to call their shop workers Geniuses to help convert PC users to Macs?
Anyway, if you're so much of a Genius yourself, where has your punctuation and grammar disappeared to?
As for the quote about being a sheep, iPads just work, and very well at that, and because they're popular there's a whole lot of apps that get developed for them. The concept of aspiring to being middle class because you own or want to own an iPad astounds me! Back in the 80's people used cars and houses as status symbols, but these days it is much less common. But an iPad? How can something so inconsequential be seen as aspiring to middle class? Most people buy them cos they can't be arsed with Windows any more, and want something that allows them to get on the Internet and play on Facebook quickly and readily... Hardly aspiring to greatness!
