Hi Ive got the iPad 3rd gen but really want to get the iPad air as mine is now slow with IOS7. But my question is should I buy one now e.g. black friday and run up to christmas or wait till mid February when Apple normally holds an iPad event?
wait till mid February when Apple normally holds an iPad event?

Trade in your old iPad for at least $200
If iOS 7 made your iPad 3 slow, why would you "reward" the company by buying another one of their products?

If you want a new iPad, go to Target this weekend. New iPad Air 16GB is $479 with $100 gift card. Trade in your old iPad for at least $200. I'm not sure if the Airs with more storage are $20 less than MSRP, but you will get the gift card still.
And as always, if you have a Red Card you'll save 5 percent. That's $25 on a $500 purchase.

My advice is to wait. I have had good success with waiting 3-4 months after the release of a new generation iPad before purchasing it to get a defect-free unit. Perhaps Apple will iron out the wrinkles in iOS 7 by then (because it is still fairly rough on even the Air). Maybe they'll provide another mid-gen bump (like they did with 3 -> 4).
I'm not talking about playing the perpetual waiting game, just long enough for some things to shake out. If they fix iOS 7, then maybe performance will be better on your 3 long enough to last another season or two.
Thought that offer expired Nov 9th, did Target resurrect it? Link?
Either way, seems the OP is in the UK so not really applicable.![]()
I'd actually wait for the iPad 6 with Touch ID, the A8, iOS 8, improved cameras and [insert killer feature].
