I know i can email the files to each person, copy them over to pages one by one and it would work. But every time the files need updating I would have to go machine to machine to redo them. Goodreader can synchronize server files to an iPad. http://www.goodreader.com/gr-man-tr-servers.html#sync You'd probably want to set up a sftp or webdav https server locally that they can sync to, with or without access to the Internet depending on security needs/need to update on the go. I'm assuming PDF files which Goodreader is designed for, but Goodreader will take most any filetype generally.

I found the Air 1 great for netflix in bed, propped up against my knees. I was perfectly fine with the size. But for painting, editing photos, working with soft synths, I'd be much happier with the larger screen.

The bigger display is really nice, but I'm not sure it's worth the price difference for me. If they can keep the new iPad the same prices as the Air 2 it's $659 CAD for 64gb, the iPad Pro is $1049 CAD for 32gb/$1249 for 128gb. $400-$600 depending on storage is a lot.

The new iPad Air 3, with pencil support, etc, will be more expensive, though than previous ipad of this size, from what I have heard. Somewhere between the pro and previous airs

I have a 32gig iPad Air purchased in April 2014. Model number MD786ZP/A. I bought it in Hong Kong, but I live in Denmark. It has recently developed a quite annoying flickering problem, where the screen will turn off completely, for a fraction of a second to several seconds. When it's flickering "off" it's completely I've fiddled with the brightness and autobrightness settings (some people seem to indicate that can fix things.) but that doesn't work. Called Apple Support Denmark and they won't touch it, as it's more than a year old. Crap part is that it's really been pampered, basically never left my couch, rarely used, never been dropped... Any ideas? Is this a common problem?

I was really excited at first about all these rumours about a 9.7" iPad Pro being announced this month. But the more I think about it - and after trying one in the Apple Store - I might really like the big 13" original Pro. I'd really need to use one for a while to see what it's actually like sitting on my desk or if it'll fit on the tray over my bath for watching movies (I am a lazy slob) before committing. I so wish I could just like rent one for a fortnight to see what I think.

If it were just for things like "reading books" or "watching movies", I could never justify the expense. But for taking notes (with Apple Pencil), annotating and reviewing large PDFs, using O365 apps, the form factor is perfect. And you can always buy one and and return within the 14 day window if you don't like it to exchange for the smaller form factor/refund.

It's a nuisance since the vast majority of my use case is just watching videos and browsing the internet, but occasionally, no more than once every week or two, being able to handwrite notes would be really useful but not so much that a paper notepad isn't that inconvenient to carry around. I guess if the 9.7" one with Pencil support is real and not just a rumour, I'll play around with it for a while in the stores.

I currently have a iPad 4, and I was gonna wait until the event to see what the 9.7 inch iPads were going to be, but now I'm really thinking pro. At first it seemed like the pro was more for people looking for a laptop replacement, but it seems like that doesn't have to be the case. My iPad lives in my backpack and I don't see how having a couple extra inches will really change how portable the thing is. If I need something ultra portable, I have my iPhone. My main uses are reading books, magazines, and comics, editing photos, web surfing, and watching movies (usually on airplanes). I think I will like the pen for class note taking as I prefer to take notes by hand. By the way, how is the iPad pro in coach on a flight? My 15 inch MBP is too big to open up for me, but I hear 13 inches works well.

Magazines and comics are also WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WONDERFUL on the iPad Pro. It was honestly a big reason I wanted one; I always wnated to read them on my iPad/iPad 3 but the screens were just too small to really enjoy it.

If I have a 3rd Generation iPad running iOS 9.2.1, what are my options for connecting a controller to it? I bought a SteelSeries StratusXL to use with my iPhone 6S+, but it's not compatible with my iPad because of the older hardware I presume. When I had a jailbreak, I could connect a PS3 DualShock to the iPad... is there any sort of native support now?

I've been doing the same, it's a fabulous size. One of the excellent capabilities of the size is that I can have a textbook open in goodreader and take notes in notability at the same time through splitview, without feeling cramped or that there is a lack of space. It's pretty much the perfect portable device if you're a student, the Microsoft office suite is quite the workhorse.

Ok I think I'm going to go with the pro. I'm on the fence about the apple keyboard case. I bought one for my ipad 4 and I rarely use it. I don't type much on my ipad and when I do, it's only for short bursts. Considering how I use my ipad (currently reading, editing photos, web surfing, and watching movies and with soon taking handwritten notes in class) I don't think I'll ever use the keyboard. Anyone regret not getting the keyboard?

Sounds good, I feel like I'd be the same way. Also, I have a wireless apple BT keyboard sitting in a draw that I could use if I feel the inclination. Now I just need a case. Would to find something that gives me a couple different viewing angles and feels comfortable when flipped around for lap and bed reading.

Is an iPad mini 3, LTE, 128gig for $395 a bad deal? It's new in box. From what I've read, the A7 and 1gig of RAM means I should get a more expensive 4. The 3 is a crazy good price though. Use: mostly movies, browsing and some games. Don't want to buy something that will be sluggish in normal use though.

Otherwise yeah you're kind of in the nebulous mid cycle time where you could try waiting it out for a new one or just getting the current model. The 2GB is a noticeable improvement for tab retention when browsing (although iOS 9 and ad blocking helped too iirc) and otherwise gets you side by side app multitasking if you plan to use that at all. If they bump it to the A9 for the next update that'll be a pretty big performance jump, while A7 to A8 was pretty modest (but I think still had GPU gains?).

Thanks. I'll wait. The only storage that makes sense is 128 since I load things up with a shitload of media for travel (I fly weekly). Sure I could shuffle on and off on the weekends but I just like to have it all there. Don't see the need to pay $10/extra for LTE as I can tether just fine. Would like GPS though, so cellular it is I guess.

I'm still using my Mini 2 and even though it's a good little device it's definitely starting to show its age. I'd go for the 4 instead of the 3 if you want it to survive another couple of OS updates without too much pain.

Do you guys expect to see a price drop on current iPad models when the new one comes out this month, or will they stay mostly the same as it (kinda sorta) creates a new slot in the lineup? I want to my girlfriend an iPad for her birthday, but right now the Air 2 is a bit outside of my budget. Her birthday is the 24th, just a few days after the new model is set to be announced...should I wait till the last second after the announcement or won't it matter? I could always grab her an original Air, which is within my budget. My only concern is at that point we're getting a several year old platform and I don't want to run into issues in the future.

If a price drop is coming, non-Apple retailers (Best Buy, Target, etc.) will have "sales" a few days before the Apple announcement, so may as well wait.

Just ordered a 128 pro with a pencil! Also ordered a Sena Vettra Case. I've used their phone cases on my last 2 phones, and have been happy with them. If I've had an issue, they've been good about honoring their warranty. I like that it snaps into the case (I hate how the smart cover pops off all the time), has several viewing angles, works in portrait mode, closes tightly with magnets, and has a loop for the pencil. Seems like it'll work well with my Apple BT keyboard if I ever chose it use it.

If it's "iPad Pro" branded as mentioned they could slot it above the Air 2, or they could replace it and move the Air 2 down to a cheaper price slot. But yeah you might as well wait and hope for a sale.(Or refurb and use the 14 day return period if new stuff is a better deal, if the refurb return policy is the same as new at least)
