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.

64bit :-/ useless in this product since 64bit processors only benefit from more than 4GBS of Ram & the iPad Air only has 1GB.
Basically this is just a marketing ploy, since people won't buy it for just a slimmer design & screen, they need to justify the price.
I still have my ipad2 & it works great.

If you're gonna get a case for the ipad air, wouldn't it just look like a regular ipad as in the thickness?

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.

To me I like the product, but I was expecting something different from Apple. They should do a IConsole.

-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
