I don't understand the new name, no .11ac, and no bumped A7 chip...

It's the same as the phone...yet the iPad pushes more pixels.
If I jump from the 5S to the iPad Air, same specs, will the iPad feel slower?
That's the problem.
iPad 'Pro' mid-cycle with touch sensor, wifi ac, and A7x?
Me thinks so.

No touch sensor and no AC on the Ipad and Mini don't bother me. An Ipad Mini Retina will be a nice upgrade.

So I guess the iPad A7 has better gfx...double apparently. So it's possible it is, in fact, an 'A7x' and they just decided to KISS?

I'm thinking new and larger iPad next year.
iPad mini = 7.9"
iPad Air = 9.7"
iPad = 13" ???

Maybe they'll hold an event in Feb. or Mar. for it like how the iPad 3 was announced in Mar. 2012.

I'm going to repeat an idea I had a long time ago... bluetooth linked iPads.
With iPads getting thinner, It would be cool to be able to set them up in a master/slave setup and give developers the APIs needed to provide multi screen support. Cases can be made to open them up like a book. Examples of uses: Book reading on one screen, note taking on another screen, or book reading on both screens (screen 1: page 1, screen 2: page 2, etc. Games could benefit from this, or even productivity apps (pages on one screen, numbers on another, etc).
I understand the market for people that want to buy two iPads and use them in this capacity may be small, but wasn't Apple all about pushing the envelope and being innovative? Or did that die with Jobs?

32GB Wifi iPad 3 sold for $305. Not bad. I think I'm going to go with the mini retina, unless the air is awesome enough to convince me to drop the extra hundred.

Probably needs to be sanitized first

That's crazy. I'm such a minimalist though. I don't even have enough apps on my phone to fill the first "page".

Checked the Apple Store website this afternoon just for fun...much to my surprise the Air was available for in-store pickup at my Apple store. Couldn't resist, bought one. Space Gray. Thing is a NICE upgrade after an iPad 2 and a mini. The weight, IMO, isn't that dramatic, but still light nonetheless.

if you got an ipad 1, target mobile will let you turn it in in exchange for a $200 gift card, in person.

Was just going to post this.
I do have a OG iPad, 64GB with ATT 3G. Very tempting.
My problem is that noen of the Target stores sell LTE iPads (specifically ATT). I need the cellular radio in my iPad for business and travel. Anyone have any thoughts on how to make this work? Seems like the $200 gift card can only be used for electronics, so maybe I could by some christmas gifts for my kids there, and buy the iPad elsewhere?

They don't sell the LTE model?
Kind of tempted to sell my 3rd gen 32gb LTE for $350ish. But I'd have to cough up like another 300-400 to get another LTE model.
