Apple launched its hotly anticipated tablet, the iPad Air, on October 22nd after months of endless rumors. iPad-hungry customers will be lining up outside Apple Retail Stores to pick up the new tablet, most probably. This time around, Apple had decided to open up its stores an hour early than their usual opening time. Apple Retail Stores will open on 8 a.m. local time on November 1st, when the iPad Air goes on sale. This isn’t the first time that the company is doing this, only recently it opened up stores an hour early for the launch of iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5c.

As was the case with the iPhone 5s, Apple isn’t taking iPad Air pre-orders in advance. Customers will be allowed to pre-order their units on November 1st, but like before, they won’t be able to place an order in advance so that it is delivered to them on launch day. Its likely that iPad Air pre-orders might be opened up on 12:01 a.m., November 1st. The iPad Air is not the only tablet that Apple has announced, the company also unveiled the Retina iPad Mini. Though it is not known right now exactly when this tablet goes on sale, Apple says it will become available later in November.

Apple unveiled its iPad Air, and even though there’s been a lot of chatter online in regards to the company’s name choice for their upcoming tablet, there’s one thing we’re sure we can all agree on: it looks pretty thin and light. Now that Steve Jobs is no longer around to influence what goes into any of the new Apple products, we’re left wondering what the famous CEO would think of the latest iPad. On the other hand, we still have Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak around, and it looks like he’s none too pleased about the iPad Air. (more…)

With Apple announcing the new iPad Air yesterday, we expect that there will be plenty of customers who can’t wait to get their hands on the device. After all the tablet has managed to maintain its screen size while becoming thinner and slightly narrower, thanks to the bezels being thinner than before. However according to reports, it seems that Apple has placed orders for only 10 million units for Q4 2013 for the iPad Air. While that number is still pretty impressive and could imply how many units Apple plans to sell, it is still a drop from the 14 million sold back in Q4 2012.

This number is expected to be offset with the iPad mini 2 with Retina display, where customers who don’t need the size and don’t want the weight of the iPad Air will turn to. In fact this was one of the alleged concerns Apple had about including a Retina display with their next-fen iPad mini. We had heard that the Cupertino company was worried that the inclusion could drive sales away from the larger iPad. In any case perhaps Apple’s fears are unfounded, but either way we guess we will have to wait for the official numbers to be released to see how well both tablets do. What do you guys think? Will customers start turning towards the iPad mini 2 rather than the larger iPad Air?

Moshi has introduced a couple new covers for the newly unveiled iPad Air, all of which are slated to launch sometime this fall and follow shortly after Belkin introduced its own offerings for the Apple slate. Along with the new covers also comes the iVisor, a bubble-free washable screen protector for the iPad Air to […]

As expected, the folks over at T-Mobile do not want to be left out of the iPad Air party, and hence, they have announced that they will be rolling out the recently introduced iPad Air this November 1st. Best of all is, you will be able to pick up the iPad Air for nothing, while enjoying free data for life, now how about that?

We do know that T-Mobile has announced that they will offer iPad Air and iPad mini, both with Wi-Fi + Cellular, from November 1st onward, while the iPad mini with Retina display with Wi-Fi + Cellular will arrive later in the same month. These two tablets will be on offer starting at $0 down for those who qualify, and all T-Mobile iPad users will be on the receiving end of 200MB of free 4G LTE data every single month – as long as they own their iPad, never mind that they are still a customer outside of T-Mobile’s purview.

T-Mobile does offer daily, weekly and monthly options for those who want to enjoy 4G LTE data. T-Mobile voice customers will be able to enjoy ‘always-on’ iPad plans from $10 monthly for unlimited data, where it will boast of 500MB of 4G LTE data each month. There is also the option to add even more 4G LTE data in 2GB increments, where these will arrive in just an extra $10 per month. [Press Release]
