Somewhere for us new air owners to discuss our new toy. What are your early thoughts.
I'm already in love. Can't believe how thin it is!

Yeah, it's still a bit heavy to hold for ages with one hand. Probably about as light as it can get though. Not a big outdoor user, so touch ID doesn't really bother me.
It's very snappy.

It depends. If you're happy playing from the cloud and paying the yearly fee for itunes match, then a 32GB could suffice.
But personally, with a music collection that size, I would go for the 64GB.
Wow!
My wi-fi has just clocked 75Mbps. That's insane for a tablet!

No problems yet. Smooth as double cream.
Can anyone think of some really good games to test out the supposed super improved graphics performance on the air?
Is anyone else getting some crashes in the iTunes Store when they switch categories? It's crashed about five times when clicking on the audiobook category.
The only argument for tethering is that data plans on phone contracts are a lot cheaper than internet sims. (For want of a better description)
Is there an easy to use app that will allow me to stream my avi and Mkv videos from my to PC to my ipad?
This seems to be a widely reported problem at the moment.
Try this. Open itunes in portrait mode and then rotate to landscape. If it doesn't crash, try to switch categories along the bottom, particularly films, TV and audiobooks. For some reason, it doesn't like landscape mode. It's fine on portrait mode.
Anyone get the feeling that rainforest company are taking a little dig here
I thought that the other day when I saw it. As subtle digs go, it's pretty much a smack in the face with a nail ridden cricket bat. And frankly, I think it makes companies look a little desperate when they resort to digging out individual products.
The Air's only been out a couple of days, but Apple have already done it.
Any tablet with thick bezels like the Fire already looks clunky and dated now.
I'n not trying to knock the Fire, it's probably a perfectly good tablet, it's just the pettiness of Amazon's marketing that annoys me. It looks even more desperate in that they are trying to sell it based on a weight difference of under 100grams. A difference you can hardly, if at all, feel.

Spoke to Apple today about the iTunes landscape issue. They are apparently not aware of it, but will report it and look into it. Spent most of the call trying to convince me that no product launch the size of iPads or iPhones will ever go 100% smooth all over the world. Suppose there could be some truth in that. Just hope they get it fixed ASAP.
EDIT: I'm also a little disappointed that you can't stream music without downloading it. Sooner that gets sorted the better.

I think it must have you who I spoke to.
Another question. Nothing's broken, but all the songs I download from my cloud won't play in Djay 2. It says it's either because it's in the cloud or drm protected. It's not in the cloud so it must be drm.
I thought all itunes songs were drm free now. The ones I have purchased on my PC over the weekend and downloaded are playing fine in Djay 2.
This is my first iPad with retina. I never knew how much of a difference retina is until just now when I've put it up against a mini. Really is night and day.
Jesus, if Megan Fox had triplets, you'd be the one in the middle on the bottle.
I have none of the problems at all that you are mentioning. I think it's over analysis myself. Fair do, if the structure is wrong such as the power socket then take it back, but I think people are exaggerating the screen issues.

You must be tapping seriously hard! My fingers glide over it with no problems whatsoever and I actually like the resounding thunk it gives when you tap.
Only problem I'm having (and I've had it since launch day) is that lately the App Store keeps popping up randomly advertising that empire four kingdoms game that's always on TV. Getting on my nerves badly.
Is there anyway to play Spotify on ipad through my pc speakers wirelessly?
Apple TV connected to hifi, then stream by AirPlay. Great setup, every time we have people over we just pass the ipad round and people queue up what they like
Thanks for your advice Dave, but after a bit of digging around, I came across this http://www.airserver.com/
Seems to be working flawlessly so far
How do you queue a song on Spotify? When I press the icon that looks like lines and a little box, it just plays it next regardless of what's in the queue.
I'm still crashing in chrome sadly, but far less often.
