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.

before you know it, they will be selling paper for $400. They are getting thinner and thinner. And the best part of it is, the Ipad is awful.

Thlack Very cool. I don't know how much better things can get with apple, eventually they will hit a barrier, but I really want the iPad Mini Retina.
They hit that barrier a long time ago, pal. Now they're just adding stupid features.

FrenzyRG I've still got my ipad 2 and im happy with it :D
I had the first iPad and before I knew it, there were 2 more made. They make them too quick in my opinion.

XxSGTxDEATHxX-HardwellLavishSliceFX This just gets worse and worse. This needs to stop...
I would love to ask you how it is getting worse and worse?
It is getting better and better if anything.
Becoming faster, better displays, and even thinner over the years.
That's true but why would you want something really thin ? if you drop it , it would probably break and it cost's nearly as much as a computer/laptop :/
did you watch the video they did a drop and it performed like a champ
That's cute, haha. You think it was real :) It's just like fast food commercials. Get a 'prop' or a fake one to make it look real and good for the public. Until you actually get one and see it's worse than what they made it look. Obviously, if you're selling such a thin and fragile product you want the consumers to think it can withstand so many feet of a drop and survive without a scratch!
