IPad Air, or iPad mini retina?

I'm a college student thinking of getting an iPad in the months to come. However, I'm not sure of which one to get...Should it be the air, or the mini retina?
I want to be able to view documents (ppts, word, spreadsheets) in it, surf the net and at the same time I want something portable. If I were to get one, should it be the one with cellular service? or just the plain WiFi model?
Screen size aside, what other things make the air (or vice vera) different from the mini?

IPad Air vs iPad Mini Retina

Ipad Air or Ipad Mini Retina? I am thinking about buying an Ipad, however I'm not sure what one to get. I am currently in sixth form so will be hauling the tablet around everyday. Obviously will be using some kind of Word, probably Apple Pages. Which one would be better and why? I will also be using it at home.

Are iPad Air and iPad Mini Retina both "SIM unlocked" in US? Can I use SIM cards sold in other countries?

I'm planning to buy iPad Air and iPad Mini Retina during my trip to US.
Are they both "SIM unlocked"?
Can I use SIM cards sold in other countries?
Do I need any treatment or/and application when purchase?

If you are not concerned about LTE bands (which will be more diverse and hit-or-miss) the only ones that will matter are these...
3G: UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz)
2G: GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
This covers almost all the 2G and 3G standards. You will most likely be ok on 3G and in edge cases, at an absolute minimum you will have EDGE speeds since both US and EU frequencies are covered - blech :-)

I tested them side-by-side in Apple Store today and after the same 10 apps loaded, I didn't feel significant speed gain from iPad Air and iPad Mini with Retina Display from my New iPad.
I wonder what Processing Speed and Built-in Memory do the iPad Air and the iPad Mini with Retina Display have.
Can someone who has upgraded give any feedback?

Thanks Diavonex.

Release date of iPad Air and iPad Mini 2 in the Philippines

When will it be the release date of the new iPad Air and iPad Mini 2 in the Philippines?

As far as I know Apple has not announced a release date yet. You'll know as soon as we know. In fact Apple has not set a release date for the new ipad mini in the US. There are many people waiting for this announcement. Stay tuned.

Can I use The iPhone (5s) or iPad (air 2 or mini 3) like a webcam? If not, which one a compatible camera? please, a good one but no expensive?

You can get apps for a Mac (and the iPs device) that allows you to use the iOS device as a webcam.

I agree with Ralph. It all depends on what you're comfortable reading on.
Most retailers have demo devices, go to a store and play with them and see which one works best for you

I'm hoping to buy a "ipad air" or "ipad mini 2" to read PDFs, which one is the best....????(need a help), I'm a university student .

They can both read PDFs. It will really boil down to what screen size you prefer and how portable you want it. The iPad Air has a larger screen, but weighs more than the iPad Mini2. Either one will work for you, its just a matter of preference.
Hope this helps!

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary.

IPad Air says iPad is disabled connect to iTunes and STILL not able to use it. VERY UNHAPPY

After uploading IOS8 on 9-17-14 my iPad Air says "iPad is disabled, connect to iTunes.". I have followed all the suggestions from Apple and tried to erase my iPad, but I am VERY UNHAPPY as none of these have resolved the problem. Apple, please provide the support when you have new downloads...

Apple are not involved in tracking/locating stolen or lost devices. Have you reported it to the police ?
Did you have Find My iPad enabled in Settings > iCloud ? If you did and you had iOS 7 installed on it then it should be harder to remove from your account, and the police could try locating it via http://www.icloud.com

FaceTime volume issue between iPad Air and iPad 2

I've noticed that when making FaceTime calls between iPad Air and iPad 2, the volume on iPad 2 is too soft and the volume on iPad Air is too loud. This only occurs between 2 different type of iPads. If both parties use the same type, the volumes on both sides are roughly the same and loud enough to be heard clearly. I've also verified with Skype which produced roughly the same loudness when video calling between an iPad Air and an iPad 2.
Just hope Apple can take notice of this issue and rectify in the new iOS release.

Yeah, what's up with this? I too have PDF's I want to sync between iPhone5s and new iPadAir. I'm not having luck!. You would think it would be SIMPLE!

Do anybody know the clock speed of both the iPad Air and the Mini w/Retina Display?

I've looking for some benchmarks on both iPads with A7 chip, but I've haven't find anything related to the clock speeds (only that the iPad Air has a dual core running @ 1400 MHz). Do anyone knows the specs for the iPad mini with Retina Display?
