All iPads Which iPad Air or iPad mini are you getting?

Service. That extra $130 your paid for a T-Mobile LTE iPad is useless if you can't get signal and getting a Verizon SIM card from a Verizon corporate store is like pulling teeth.

What do you mean extra $130?

Stuck in between 64GB or 128GB wifi white/silver can't decide which one i want!

What do you mean extra $130?

The additional $130 to buy a cellular model.

I'm really torn on which one to get. I currently have an iPad 3 and am 50/50 between upgrading to an Air or a Retina Mini. The portability of the Mini is compelling but I worry that it might feel cramped when typing (I do a lot of touch typing on my iPad 3 in landscape mode, long emails, etc.).

White/silver iPad Air 64GB with a (RED) smart case

Was originally going to get the mini retina, but since I own a nexus 4 the screen is big enough for travel that I wouldn't use the mini as much.

It will be replacing an ipad 2.

Decided...

My aging iMac is deciding for me:

I will order an iPad Air tomorrow and see if I can get along with just an iPad at home/creatively.

Probably a 64gb.

iPad mini retina, probably space gray, 16gb or 32 gb

Ordered a 16GB space Gray iPad Air this morning, will see how it is and if I like it will keep it.

I currently have a wifi 16g iPad 2. I will be ordering the VZW 128g retina mini in silver whenever it comes out. The iPad Air tempted me for a second but I need a smaller device.

This is the one I'm planning to get too. But now I'm intrigued by the 200MB free data T-Mobile is offering. I only activate the cellular occasionally, so always having the active connection would be a bonus, if even just for the Find My iPhone feature to be on. It would help justify the added expense of getting the cellular version.

You can get the Verizon version then go to a T-Mobile store then get a Sim and use the 200mb plan.

Verizon and probably all iPads are factory unlocked so they work on AT&T and T-Mobile. However only a Verizon iPad will work on the Verizon network (same way with Sprint) so getting the Verizon version when you mean to use it on T-Mobile or AT&T just gives you the flexibility to use Verizon later.

So if you plan to use AT&T or T-Mobile it is a good idea to get the Verizon or Sprint iPad for the ability to use those networks later if you want to switch to them or try them.

I got the 128GB Space Grey WiFi Air yesterday. Now that I'm enthralled with the display I'm debating on replacing my old Mini with a new Retina Mini - probably 64GB in Space Grey.

Got the 16gb silver and I'm absolutely loving it...first ever iPad, and extremely glad I made the purchase...May return it and upgrade to the 32, but probably not

64gb or 128gb? I'm going nuts on which to choose? I never owned a real tablet except the 8gb Kindle Fire I have. I do have a 64GB sdcard on my phone and my son plays a lot games, I'll be needing to download a lot of educational apps. Is 64 plenty? Oh, and what accesory would I need to purchase so I can hook up the Air to my HDTV? I want put movies on the Air and play them on the TV, is that even possible?

i got 64gb silver wifi version. not sure i'll use that much space but rather have the option to fill it than to deal with managing storage.

only problem now is that it's cost me another iPad air as the mrs wanted one. She was originally going to get a mini but after feeling the weight of the air she decided to go for the full size one instead.
