The iPad Air is the 5th generation of the Apple ipad tablet devices. The ipad air looks like previous devices but is lighter and thinner and more powerful. The 64-bit A7 chip powers the lightweight one pound device. Apple says that this tablet is up to twice as fast as 4th generation ipads. Notable improvements include a second microphone that is sure to improve audio recordings. Apple has also added a second antenna to the ipad structure for better wi-fi connections.
