Logitech Hinge Case For Ipad Air Blends Right Into The Carpet | Cult Of Mac
This caught our interest the other day.
Yup, a hinge. To be honest, its really no different from all the other cases that have a vertical crease in the back so that the front flap can fold away and around to make a multi-angle stand, but the Hinge looks better than most of them while it does it. The 335-gram (0.9-pound) case is a whopper in terms of weight, but it does offer protection as well as being a good-looking stand. The iPad tray within is polycarbonate, the outside cover, which looks kinda like the material used on office chairs so you dont see the office-party stains, is gray polyester, and the cover part itself is made from polyurethane. And thats about it. If youre looking for a convenient, fairly slim and very nice-looking iPad Air case, and dont care too much about the weight, then the Hinge might be for you. $60. Source

Apple Ipad Air, Mini Sales Plunge But Tim Cook Still Believes Tablets Will Surpass Pc Market, Ecumenical News
While there is nothing new under the sun, there is constantly something new to understand each day. This point is thoroughly confirmed by the following;
intends to do now that sales of its groundbreaking product show signs of a continuing downward spiral. Apple last week confirmed it sold 16 percent fewer iPads in the March quarter year-on-year, verifying many analysts’ expectations that its tablet sales have slowedperhaps irretrievably. Apple did much worse than analysts expected. It sold 16.4 million iPads in the quarter, a drop of three million units on-year. Some analysts believe the spectacular early rise of the iPad is to blame for its current sales slump. “I think that’s key to understanding (what’s happening now),” said Carolina Milanesi, chief of research at Kantar Worldpanel ComTech.

Cheaper, Thinner & Lighter Ipad Air 2 On Release Date As Apple Fights Off Threats Of Dipping Sales, Stronger Rivals? – International Business Times
Right now there’s an abundance of data from the most recent consumer trade shows, it’s tough to get critical info with the present flood. We hope this cuts right to the chase and give you quite a few useful details.
These devices are drawing serious attention too thanks to solid pricing, the same report added. Samsung ‘s Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4, for instance, debuted for only $400 with premium specs and features while the first iPad Air is priced $500. So it would be hardly surprising if the next iPad Air will hit store shelves with a more inviting price tag, analysts said. Apart from the unified front panel and a bit of connector tweaks that the leaked images have supplied, no other clues on the iPad Air 2 design and capabilities have been revealed so far. The best we got so far is some pieces of the big puzzle that KGI Securities analyst Ming-chi Kuo has offered earlier this April. According to him, the iPad Air 2 will slide out of the box boasting of a 64-bit A8 chip, powered by iOS 8 with almost the same look as the 2013 edition.

Apple Ipad Air 2 To Get Integrated Display For A Thinner, Lighter Tablet : Personal Tech : Tech Times
This caught our interest the other day.
(Photo : one more thing) Apple’s iPad Air is already extremely thin and light but newly leaked images of the next-generation iPad Air 2’s display show it will likely be even thinner when it’s released. Apple has typically never been the first company to introduce a new product, what the company usually does is enter the market after rivals and uses that time to address the shortcomings of those devices and releases a device that gets it right. Apple’s iPod took the personal digital music player device category by storm even though rivals had already released devices a few years before Apple entered the market. What set the iPod apart from devices from Creative and other companies was its breathtaking design and super intuitive user interface. Apple’s iPod quickly became the digital music player consumers wanted and rivals tried to copy. Again, Apple’s iPhone wasn’t the first smartphone to hit the market, but the time Apple took in developing the handset and getting its design, usability, and exceptional software, quickly led the company to become king of smartphones with the original iPhone. Then companies like Samsung, HTC, Palm, and more followed Apple’s blueprint of using multitouch displays and similar features found on the first iPhone to offer their customers smartphones that tried to mimic Apple’s handset.

Report: Ipad Air 2 On Tap For 2014, Complete With A8 And Touch Id — Tech News And Analysis
This really is an intriguing take on our major topic.
Thats what Apple intends to do, says one analyst with a relatively good track record on figuring out Apples next product moves. The iPad Air 2 will use a new A8 chip and include the Touch ID fingerprint reader, according to KGI analystMing-Chi Kuo. Apple Insider took a peek at Kuos most recent research note for Apple , which includes severaleducated guesses. Kuo expects a late third-quarter launch for the iPad Air 2 and thinks that TSMC will build the new A8 chip for Apple, which would take business away from Samsung. TSMC is reportedly already building the yet-unannounced A8 chips for Apple , which makes sense from a timing perspective: Apple will likely need millions of the chips for multiple products in the next few months, including the next iPhone and iPad mini with retina display. In fact, Kuo suspects that a new iPad mini will see the same upgrades as the iPad Air 2, including touch ID support.

Best Ipad Air Cases – Top 7 Ipad Air Smart Covers Reviewed By Tablet Things
Is this worth a read? Let’s hope we’re right & this really is worthwhile to read.
For example, a high-quality iPad Air smart case can be bought for as little as $12 . The best third party iPad Air cases that made it to the top of the list come from brands like Kensington, Logitech, Snugg, MoKo, Fintie, INVELLOP, Bear Motion, MacCase, and Trent Airbender. Even though some of these brand names are not very popular, some of them have been manufacturing tablet cases and covers from the time the first generation iPad was introduced back in 2010. While most of them are made of premium-quality PU leather, some are made of aluminum or 100% genuine leather. Some people prefer synthetic leather over real leather iPad cases because they are cheaper and do not involve animal sacrifices. Almost every iPad Air case available in today’s market is a smart case. In other words, they have embedded magnetic strips which enable automatic ‘waking up’ and ‘sleeping’ of the Apple iPad when the iPad case is opened and closed, respectively. Some of the more sophisticated cases even have detachable keyboards that wirelessly (Bluetooth 2.0 or 3.0) communicate with the tablet.

Solid Source Details Apple’s Next-gen Ipad Air And Retina Ipad Mini – Yahoo News
It’s especially easy to get overwhelmed throughout busy news periods for any certain niche. This provides a superb summary of much of the current developments.
The third quarter is apparently when the action will really start though, and a new report from one of the most reputable sources in the business seemingly reveals key details about Apples next-generation iPad Air and iPad mini tablets. In a research note sent to clients early Thursday morning and later picked up by MacRumors, noted KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo revealed what may be everything there is to know about Apples next-generation iPad Air and Retina iPad mini tablets. According to the report, Apples second-generation iPad Air model will be a relatively minor upgrade that features the same design as the current model, for the most part. Key additions include a Touch ID fingerprint scanner embedded in the home button, an upgraded camera and a new A8 processor. Similarly, Kuo claimed that the new iPad mini with Retina display will be largely the same as the current model, but with a new A8 chipset and a Touch ID scanner. We think the upgraded iPad Air will be launched earlier in 2014 than the iPad Air was in 2013. The biggest changes will be A8 processor, Touch ID (fingerprint recognition), and main camera resolution of 8MP, Kuo wrote.

Earlier Ipad Air 2, Ipad Mini 3 Release Date On July 2014 With Minor Feature Upgrades; Ipad Pro On Q1 2015 – Analyst – International Business Times
We had to do quite a few work to gather this information for you, as the day there doesn’t seem to be much of it. What do you think?
From November last year, the iPad Air sequel is likely to land earlier this 2014, says KGI Securities analyst Ming-chi Kuo in a new research note published by MacRumors . The report is looking into a Q3 2014 rollout for the twin iOS slates, meaning waiting time theoretically starts between July and September of the same year. “We think the upgraded iPad Air will be launched earlier in 2014 than the iPad Air was in 2013,” Kuo wrote. In the same note, the highly-credible Apple watcher backpedalled on his earlier assertion that the iPad Mini 3 will skip 2014, stressing that the tech giant has decided to focus instead on the reinvigorated original 9.7-inch iPad. There will be two iPads after all in the current year, Kuo said in amending his earlier readings. “We previously thought Apple would not release a new version of the iPad Mini this year, but we now think Apple will launch an upgraded version with same form factor,” MacRumors reported the KGI analyst as saying. It is likely too that the Mini 3 will be subjected to crucial design corrections as Kuo told Apple Insider that the modifications implemented by Apple with the Retina-toting iPad Mini 2 “proved unpopular among consumers.” “We think iPad Mini with Retina display made the same mistake, explaining why it’s not selling as well as the previous generation of iPad Mini,” Kuo wrote, hinting as well that Retina will remain as the strongest selling point of the third make. But really, the biggest iPad changes to anticipate this year, according to BGR , amount to three things – “A8 processor, Touch ID (fingerprint recognition), and main camera resolution of 8MP.” These improvements are very specific for the smaller iPad in order to shore up its unexpected weak sales number when compared to the first iPad Mini as Kuo noted that Apple is hoping that a faster processor and fingerprint scanner would “boost shipments of iPad mini with Retina display.” In the same research note that exposed the flood of new products that Apple will unleash in 2014, Kuo insisted that there will only be two iPad builds to come out in the year.

Meanwhile, the same discount also applies to iPad Air Wi-Fi + cellular model, which now costs $529.99 from $629.99. But the discount comes with a two-year contract agreement with a carrier – Sprint, Verizon and AT&T. Also, consumers can choose among all of the colors available but the 16 GB variant was only available in the offer. Consumers who wanted to save more may also check the Apple Store for refurbished iPads, which are as good as brand new tablets. The price of refurbished tablets can go down as low as $420 for the 16 GB Wi-Fi only iPad Air and $510 for 32 GB variant. According to KGI Securities Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, iPad Air 2 release date will take place later this year. <br>Acquired from: <a href='http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/547161/20140408/ipad-air-2-mini-3-release-date.htm' rel='nofollow'>http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/547161/20140408/ipad-air-2-mini-3-release-date.htm</a>
