Is your time worth so little that you're wringing your hands over saving ten or twenty dollars on an iPad 2? You claim that you want one so that you can develop applications on it and make money off its users, who are "obviously willing to pay for quality apps," so why not use the time you save hunting down a bargain on writing a better app, an app that (more?) people will pay (more?) for? Here's a rule for starters: avoid unnecessary extravagances e.g. Aeron chairs but don't waste your time clipping coupons. Also, you're going to need to join the developer program for a hundred dollars a year if you want to submit an app, and, no, I don't think there are any discount codes floating around the internet to help you save on that. Lest I be accused of being entirely negative: Have you considered buying a first-generation iPad? Do you really need a current model?
