So I've been using my Air a lot over the weekend, a lot more then I used my 4th gen, the weight and feel makes it much much easier to hold while sat on my fat arse on the sofa. The speed on the thing while browsing the net is seriously impressive as we'll blink and the entire amazon homepage has already loaded.
For me, it doesn't. I could count on one hand the amount of times I've ever needed to prop up my iPad. In normal use, folded behind the device, it just ruins the feel. The auto sleep/wake is nice, but then I'd just take it off after waking.
Though of course not everyone uses their device in the same way. For me, naked plus leather sleeve for light travel protection is the way to roll.

Gave in to temptation on Saturday after washing the car, got to the shop at 17:10! Picked up a slate grey, 64gb wifi + 4g with black smart case.
Big improvement over the iPad 2 it has replaced, much faster and nicer to hold, although as has already been mentioned there is more noise when typing from the thinner glass.
The smart case is very soft to hold, but the viewing/typing angles are a bit useless compared to the belkin case I had for the previous one.

It arrived then! I agree, it feels like a huge step forward!
My dad's trying to decide between an Ipad Mini Retina and Ipad Air for use when at college (lecturer and external verifier), I think the Air will be more useable when using the keyboard and screen real estate - what do you guys think?
Can't compare models yet due to the rMini not yet being released.

I don't see any reason now to choose the Mini over the Air unless size really is a major factor. And price of course.
Vodafone have got the iPad mini with retina display on their website.
iPad mini with Retina display
iPad mini has a stunning 7.9-inch Retina display with over 3.1 million pixels. It also comes with the A7 chip with 64-bit architecture, ultra-fast wireless, iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, powerful apps and up to 10 hours of battery life. Yet it still fits easily in one hand.

Cheers guys. Price is a bit of an issue but i'll be buying it him for Christmas either way. It'll only be the 16gb as he can then transfer any documents over to his MPB.
I think the Air is the one to go for tbf, identical stats but far more screen real estate on the Air.

Unless you actually hold one and use one for a few hour, I don't think you can fully appreciate the changes. Its the most impressive change since Retina came along, the combination of speed and lightness are simply amazing. I picked up my 4th Gen Sunday night to package up, felt like I'd just picked up a laptop.

Yeah of course it is.
I would. I've used a mini extensively and like it a lot. The only downside being the non-retina display. Obviously soon to be fixed. But having now used the Air for most of the day, I would say it feels like a bigger and better mini. Difficult to put into words. It feels really small and light, whilst still having a nice large display, whereas the mini just feels small and light, whilst having a display that feels pretty small.
Having said that, if you like the screen size of the mini, then you can't go wrong with the Retina version. It'll also have a higher PPI count than the Air, but let's face it, the 9.7" Retina is hardly lacking in clarity. My summary, and of course it's only personal opinion, is that you should get the Air unless you absolutely must have the smaller screen. But even if you feel that way, you should try the Air. It's the tardis of iPads, and feels like it should cost a million dollars.

Just to follow up what I said about the screen making a noise when used due to the glass being thinner, it woke my Mrs up last night LOL. I couldn't sleep so did the usual iPad in bed, which I've done for years with my iPad.
Bloody hell.

It's definitely a fair bit louder. If you search online there's a lot of reports on in. You'll probably notice it on your first use at night without any other noise. Through the day with background noise it's not really noticeable.
it doesn't bother me though. I found it funny when I got complained at for typing LOL.
Got mine today, upgraded from the ipad 2, it's incredibly quick compared absolutely love it!
