Summary

More info is out about the new iPads and in-between tech issues, we spend the majority of time talking about the new details and the reviews. Then we close with a discussion on who should buy the iPad Air vs. the iPad Pro and then Jason talks us through his plans for launch day (which are cool but not as cool as he would like).

And a shout out to @riversidefm. We have had issues during a few different recording sessions and because of the way they have set up their system, we have still been able to publish a show. Today Greg dropped full internet three times and then had to move locations to finish uploading. Riverside did not miss a beat. So glad we are using them.
