*** The iPad Air thread ***

Personally I find it SO useful having the Internet available on it all the time, no matter where I am.

How much a month and what's the data cost for such a venture?

Just ordered a 5s along with an iPad Air and Lightning cable.

Received an email today telling me one of my items is on its way!

Just a shame it's the Lightning cable lol :'(

Really want one of these now! Look so nice

Wow!

My wi-fi has just clocked 75Mbps. That's insane for a tablet!

how do you test wifi speed im on crappy 2 meg so thats hardly going to strain the twin wifi lol

 

[JAzz]

The WIFI is a lot quicker than the iPad 3 as well, getting 111MB over WIFI when I'm in front of the router, couldn't get much more than 50MB before. Am on 120MB so don't think I'd get much higher over WIFI.

Does it still not recognise that you have read emails like on my ipad2? And is the browser experience quicker now?

The browser is definitely quicker, iOS7 browser in generally I found is quicker though. Don't check my emails on the iPad so can't answer that.

Really tempted with the tesco offer + 10% staff discount!

Indeed, surely it's limited to the speed of your Internet connection unless there's some option to connect to a local server?

I tried it and that app seems b0rked. The classic Speedtest.net app gives me around 50Mb/s whereas that one struggles to reach 6Mb/s.

Just got my 32GB white from Tesco. Also got the full blue wrap around case. Bit disappointed with the colors so the pale blue was best of a average color bunch!

Just bought mine. Feeling rather conspicuous walking round city centre with an Apple bag. Lots of stock left at Apple store in Belfast

No problems yet. Smooth as double cream.

No crashes yet but a few conspicuous stutters now and then. I think iOS7 is far from optimised for the iPad.

Try returning to the home screen from an open app first by using the home button then by using a pinch gesture. Bet the former is totally smooth whilst the latter stutters slightly.

I noticed this, it seems to kind of just refresh itself.. hopefully can be fixed soon

My colleague was playing Despicable Me on my iPad air yesterday, he said it didn't run as well compared to his iPad 4... we got them side by side and I agree, iPad 4 was smoother.

Can anyone think of some really good games to test out the supposed super improved graphics performance on the air?
