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.

How do you figure?
This new iPad is faster than the past and will complete the tasks way faster than before.

Exactly how I feel.
People pay $100s, just for a bit of extra stuff, when they all do the same thing. I can see upgrading your phone, i pod, i pad etc. every few years but not every 6 months to a year.

AuthorizeFuzBie They don't look like a bad device but I don't like the name either. I also think there is going to be a higher chance of them breaking. That's my point of few.
for a start, GORILLA GLASS.
and secondly, 'point of view'.

Gorilla glass doesn't mean shit. It still ends up getting scratched no matter what. Don't try and use that as a example of how "sturdy" these will be.
