I would like to buy an iPad air but I really like the idea of touch ID. Is this a feature that is likely to surface on refresh if the iPad air in 2014?
My guess is yes in the fall sometime
Depends on what device you have now.

I have a Nexus 7 and a PlayBook.
Then my opinion would be to get the iPad air now but that's just my opinion.
Probably. And I will disable it just like I did on my iPhone 5S.
Sell the Nexus 7 and try your best to give away the Playbook. And then use the 80 bucks that you collected from the sale toward an iPad Air.
Fair play on the PlayBook, however, the Nexus 7 is excellent device... Especially when you consider what it cost to buy.
The question is whether to buy now or wait for Touch ID?
Touch ID isn't going to revolutionize your usage. If you were planning to wait for an iPad refresh you might as well wait to see if any hardware improvements other than Touch ID are made. If it doesn't concern you just get the iPad Air now.
I would like to be able to share the iPad air with my wife and daughter. I understand that Touch ID will "partition" the iPad air such that we can all be signed into our own twitter, Facebook, etc ?
Unless I am completely mistaken I do not believe that you could do that. Touch id just allows the phone to open without using a password or swiping. It can't decipher different users.
You're correct.
What don't you like about touch ID?
Works flawlessly for me. Wish my iPad Air had it.
