The new iPad Air is Apple's latest, slimmest, lightest release of their hand-held computer. Oddly enough, it's so beautifully easy to use (my one year old daughter loves playing with it), it's almost doesn't feel like a computer at all.
A word of warning - this review is written for people who've never owned an iPad before - and are wondering what all the fuss is about. If you're thinking of upgrading skip down to the "What's great about the Air" section below, or just buy it - it's amazing.
Just what's all the fuss about?
--------------------------------------
I used to own a laptop for work, and (very occasionally), it'd sit on my lap on the sofa, and I'd use it for pleasure (eMail, watching films or playing the odd game). Then I bought my first iPad, and the laptop became redundant, a boring "work device". Hard to explain, but the fact the iPad is so small and light, and you navigate around with your finger by pointing and gently swiping the screen makes the whole experience a lot easier - a lot more fun.
Even my most "luddite" of friends have been won over.
It's incredibly simple and easy to use (it only has one main button), and everyone from my one year old daughter to my 85 year old dad have taken to without problems. It's size and shape also support using it like a book (literally to read a book or web page), but you can also watch TV and films.
Personally I'm also paranoid about my password getting "hacked", and someone running up a huge Amazon bill or buying stuff with my credit card on eBay. Well one of the benefits of the iPad (and iPhone) is it's "almost impossible" to get a virus - one of the most common ways to get hacked. Read more ›

Since Apple announced the iPad Air and the new iPad mini I trully wanted to get my hands on these. Unlike the new iPad mini, the Air is available for anyone who wants to upgrade from the previous generations iPads or get an Apple tablet for the first time. I already own the 4th gen iPad , but I couldn t miss the newer edition for anything in the world, now that I knew it was lighter and more powerful.
No offence to the Android community, this iPad is hands down the best tablet in its category. Continue reading below and some of you may agree with me. :)
The latest generation of iPad, the iPad Air, took its name because of its weight and its form factor in general. Apple decided to reduce the weight and the bezel around the screen, managing to create a bigger...ipad mini. A sleek design of aluminum, packs a 9.7 inches display with the same retina resolution as the previous ones. The colours look alive and the photos look crispier as ever. The screen is responsive in every command without glitches or lagging; after all i can t remember of any Apple touchscreen product that ever had lagging issues.
Rear camera remain the same while the front camera is packing a 1.2 MP lens recording in 30fps. For some the same rear camera and the lack of a flash is a drawback while for others it doesn t matter at all. Personally, I would enjoy a flash on the iPad Air since there are moments I use it in darker environments where I want to take photos or record a video. Also, the lack of the slow motion recording that the iPhone 5s camera packs is a thing that its missing and will be probably added in the next gen. Read more ›

Upadte: iOS7.1 is a much welcome update. The Safari web browser is much more stable, and other enhancements, including better control of Siri make for a better user interface.
iOS 7.1 provides the stable platform we have come to expect from Apple.
_______
Apple really know how to work an audience thanks to their marketing hype and by limiting supplies at launch date.
I am no Apple iOS diehard fan, in fact I have several android tablets (including the Nexus 7, which I love).
Hence I will present an honest and unbiased review of the iPad Air.
Having two other iPads: iPad 1 and iPad 3, I'm no newbie to the iPad.
When my iPad Air finally arrived (I had it pre-ordered for several months) I thought that the store had made a mistake and got me the iPad mini instead!
I opened the usual premium Apple packaging, and was greeted with a lovely, super slim gem of a tablet. The bezel is so much thinner too, no wonder it could be mistaken for a mini.
It really is a pity that I had to buy a protective case, which covers the lovely beautifully crafted aluminium body. Yet it means that your investment will still look like new for years.
------------------------------------------
Case options: Skip this part if not interested.
When it comes to cases there is quite a choice. I call these necessary evils, yet one should not skimp on a quality case offering the best protection possible.
I have the original Apple, Invision and the Veo cases for the iPad Air
They weigh 148.7g, 208.5g and 230.7g respectively.
All have their good and bad points.
The Apple case is expensive, and the volume and sleep buttons are a nuisance to operate as they are covered in the thick premium leather. Read more ›

Was sent a Go Pro 3+ silver edition instead of the ordered iPad, delivery was quick but for the amount of money spent on the iPad it isn't acceptable. Read more
