Guys,

Got the chance of a cheap ipad (?200), brand new in box from the local knock off Nigel in the pub. Don't know what version it is.

As its no doubt fell of the back of a delivery van what the chances of the mac address being banned by apple from itunes etc?

Is it worth buying, what do you think?

If brand new in box then I doubt it will be blocked in anyway? But I'm no expert lol

Cheers Micky.

What i'm thinking is that if part of the delivery didn't turn up at the shop

Surely Apple would have the serial numbers and mac codes of the Ipads missing and could ban the macs from itunes etc.??

Don't know what to do.

Don't think you can permanently change the mac address?? but I think you can spoof it, but as soon as you reboot it it changes back to original mac.

No good I think ?? as it would need to be spoofed every time you connected to the net

and as I was gona buy it for my Kid that would be a pain spoofing it every time for him.

I'll have a read about see if I can find anything.

Thanks LFC
