Apple's iPad Air is a major improvement, but pricier than competitors: reviews

Writing for the Wall Street Journal, Walt Mossberg called the iPad Air the best tablet he has ever reviewed. "That isn't just because of its slimmer, lighter design, but because Apple boasts 475,000 apps optimized for tablet use - far more than any other tablet platform," Mossberg wrote.
