Off topic: I just got the iPad air. It's nice and light alright. And fast. But I don't think the screen is as good as the iPad 3. There's a bit of ghosting while scrolling, noticeable when using white text on dark background, as I like to do. I guess with the intense pressure to "innovate" while keeping profit up, something's gotta give. The home button doesn't feel as good when I press it. Just a tad stiff and noisy. The edge between where the bevel and the back is a little rough, not smooth. Finally, the cable feels flimsy, like one of those cheapies you get from eBay for $1, and the edges of the USB plug are sharp.
Yeah I'm a tough customer. But I'm paying $500 for this thing, dang it.

I think the Air screen is much better than the 3 or 4. I don't notice any different with the home button except that my 5s is much more clicky. I paid $729 and I think the build quality is simple best in class. My issues is more with iOS7 and how it sometimes lags which isn't a knock in the Air at all.
