The status of iPad Air's smaller cousin, the Retina iPad mini, which was also announced during the October event in San Francisco, hasn't changed: it will be coming "later in November".

Apple's iPad Air takes the tablets design to a new level of portability. At just one pound and 0.29 inch thick, the tablet is light enough to hold with just your fingertips.
The only notable thing about the iPad Air box is that it's smaller than any full-size iPad box that's come before it.
As you can see, the lock switch and volume buttons are still on the side.
Aside from the "space gray" aluminum, there's nothing remarkable about the back of the iPad Air. You can see the iSight camera in the upper left corner.
This is pretty much the same camera you'll find on the previous iPad and on the iPhone 5C.
The top edge features the 3.5mm audio jack, microphone opening and the power/sleep button.
Another look at that very thin edge.
You'll find the speakers and Lightning port on the bottom edge of the iPad Air.
The new iPad Air fits snugly into the leather Smart Case.
Another look at the bottom of the iPad Air.
Compared with previous iPads, the iPad Air (left) is also considerably thinner.
The iPad Air is considerably smaller than the iPad 4 (bottom).
At the bottom is an iPad 4. In the middle is the much smaller iPad Air (with the same size screen). On top is the iPad Mini (Gen 1).
It's fun to hold it like this, but not particularly useful.
If you've seen iOS 7 before, then the home screen is quite familiar. Even if you haven't, it still looks just like an iPad.
The new Smart Case is leather and fits the iPad Air perfectly. It's easy to put on and a bit tricky to take off. It also doubles as a stand. It lists for $79.
The case features an opening for the camera, speakers and Lightning port. Other buttons are covered, but still entirely usable.

They share many of the same specs, but the iPad Air is considerably larger than the iPad Mini.
