Apple reveals iPad Air, thinner and faster
The device includes an A7 processor which will power the same retina display that has been present since 'the new iPad', released early last year. It has double the graphics performance - 72x faster than the original iPad, and 8x faster a CPU than the first.
Other improvements include dual microphones and two antennas for twice the data transfer rates.
The iPad will continue to complete with Microsoft's Surface 2, which was put on sale today. The invite for this event stated that "We still have a lot to cover," suggesting a new case or keyboard cover for the iPad, but for now we await such an announcement.
On sale starting at $499 for a 16GB Wi-Fi model, and will ship November 1st.

It's ridiculous,there are far better and much cheaper Android devices out at the moment.I honestly don't see how they can justify the over inflated prices.TBH i don't even know anybody who has bought an ipad or iphone for cash,they seem to just get them on contract.As the saying goes "A fool and his money...

thecelloman16tinypicLavishKurumuKonviictedTruth- Just because you can make it thinner and faster doesn't mean you can't not think about the price and what people can afford Apple!
Lmao. I don't like Apple at all, but this is way cheaper than the 16GB Sufrace Pro 2 which is $899. Your comment is now invalid.
Isn't your argument not really valid when the surface pro is more of a desktop just made to look like a tablet. I don't know much about the surface pro 2 but I know that the first versions of the surface were like that, one was a tablet and the other was a tablet that ran a desktop OS and ran as a desktop not a tablet.
The surface is marketed as a tablet.
You cannot argue against what Microsoft is advertising it as.
Now if microsoft said that this was a full on desktop and not a tablet, then only would your argument work.
Put windows on an iPad and I'll buy the ipad
It really isn't possible but I would by it too if it had windows
Unless you're a genius hacker. Anything is possible.
