The holiday shopping season is undoubtedly one of the most lucrative period for any company. Consumers who are usually very stringent with the way they spend their hard-earned cash generally loosen the purse strings a little at this time of year and grab the latest piece of technology either for themselves or a loved one. Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, has already stated his belief that the end-of-year shopping period will be very important for the Californian giants. Keeping that in mind, it seems like app marketing company Fiksu have some great news for Apple and the iPad Air that derives from their own product adoption tracking service.

The latest and greatest in Apple's full-sized iPad range is now officially available for consumer purchase. As expected, there has been a great deal of interest in the lightest, thinnest and fastest iPad yet with certain stores in the United States and around Europe having to manage queues that started forming 24-hours prior to launch. With that said, the official Apple.com website still shows that the iPad Air ships within 24-hours on all models barring the 128GB Cellular + Wi-Fi version. But what if digital purchasing isn't your thing and you'd prefer to grab one from a local retail outlet without fear of being disappointed by dwindling stock levels?
Apple's thinner, lighter and faster iPad Air is officially available for sale to the general public today. Queues in various flagship stores around the United States and Europe had people queuing outside for more than 24-hours in an effort to guarantee they are amongst the first to get their hands on Apple's best performing iPad to date. To some it may seem like nothing more than an evolutionary update to the iPad line, but to others it most definitely still contains that Cupertino magic that is derived from being designed in California by Apple.
We think it's pretty fair to say that Apple's recent announcement of the iPad Air didn't exactly blow everyone's mind when it comes to technological innovation. The unveiling of the next-generation full-sized iPad pretty much fell in line with what the majority were expecting in the fact that it offers an improved but evolutionary upgrade from its predecessor. The introduction of the Apple A7 chipset and the improved engineering principles mean that the device will ultimately be faster, lighter and thinner than all other iPads to date, but the Primate Labs Geekbench 3 tests give us a pre-release indication of just how capable the iPad Air is.
When you find yourself in the position that Apple is in as a company, it seems that you become an easy target for replication and parody. No company is whiter than white these days, but Apple has often found their work and announcements being mimicked and mocked a lot more than the average company in the technology industry. The latest business giant to take a pop at Apple is Amazon, who is using the recently announced iPad Air to advertise their own Kindle Fire HDX tablet that is available immediately for pre-order.
As fans of the show continue to lament the end of popular TV series Breaking Bad, the guy behind the main character of Breaking Bad - Walter White - has already managed to wrangle himself a pretty decent new role - as the voice of one of Apple's new ad for the iPad Air. The device, which succeeds the fourth-generation Apple tablet as of next month, has already caused a bit of a stir among tech fans, and with Cranston's influential tone now a part of the ad campaign, expect the tactically-entitled slate to sell well in its first week on sale.
Apple finally revealed the fifth-gen iPad Air at its special event yesterday, and as consumers begin to read the hands-on reviews and decide whether or not to make the purchase, the third party accessory makers are already well and truly on their game. Belkin, one of the foremost creators of cases and peripherals for Apple's wide range of products, has come through with a neat case for the iPad Air featuring a physical keyboard in a very slim line package.
Apple’s much anticipated event today came to a close a few hours back, but left the blogosphere abuzz in its wake with news and views on all the great tech that the Cupertino-based company showcased, including OS X Mavericks, the new iPads, a fresh MacBook Pro, the behemoth that they call Mac Pro, along with software improvements like iWork and iLife. There was so much more that the event had to offer, and here, we’re going to provide a quick run down in case you missed the action earlier. The event is also available to stream online again, link for which is given at the end of this post.
