Had a play with the iPad Air today, definitely worth the upgrade from the iPad2. So much faster/smoother to use, the screen is just gorgeous, the resolution boost over the 2 is instantly noticeable. It is a *lot* lighter in the hand too, much more so than I expected. The lightning connector is great in that you can plug it in either way around, and is easier to plug in that then older wide connector. It feels pretty sturdy too, despite the thin-ness.
The thing really flies in operation, it will be interesting to see what new apps can take advantage of the extra grunt. If coming from the previous retina iPad the performance boost is still quite noticeable, but not as 'smack you in the face' so. Coming from the 2, it would be hard to go back, it is a big boost.
The only reason I would hesitate to buy it, is that the upcoming mini has the same resolution screen and the same processor. So if you wanted a smaller format, it might be worth waiting for. If you want the full-size screen though then she will be very happy with the air.
