got mine in comet, everywhere else was out of stock at the time   you'll have a hard job finding them cheaper because apple set the price.

Love mine, battery lasts ages, just use it for web browsing and email.  
 
iMessage is handy too as it syncs with my iphone so can message people like texting but free.

I dont think the battery is that good tbh. Infact i thought it was terrible to begin with    
 
 
I cannot praise it enough though, i never thought i would use it but its so handy. Portable internets, portable tv, etc etc 
 
I watched celeb juice on it earlier as i have no tv in my room
