7.85-Inch iPad?
Submitted by Dan; March 02, 2012
DigiTimes, which has several times in past addressed rumors of a smaller 7.85-inch iPad, has published a new report today claiming that Apple's manufacturing partners have been delivering samples of the device to Apple ahead of mass production that would start in the third quarter of this year at the earliest. Makers in Apple's iPad supply chain have started delivering samples of 7.85-inch iPads for verification, with volume production likely to begin in the third quarter of 2012 at the earliest, according to industry sources. The report suggests that Apple will price the smaller iPad in the range of $249-$299, with a rumored 8 GB iPad 2 occupying a price point at $349-$399. The report also claims that Apple could continue offering the 16 GB iPad 2 at $449 to fill out a low-end grouping below the flagship iPad 3 lineup. What are you thoughts on a 7.85 inch iPad? It certainly would make for a perfect size iPad, not too big and not too small. Sort of in between current generation iPads (such as iPad 1 and iPad 2) and the iPhone or iPod Touch. Would certainly be something nice to see. As always, let us know your thoughts and ideas!

Ah, they shouldn't move out of their usual lineup, get too many lines of products and you have a mess just like all the other companies. Apple is supposed to be simple, easy to figure out, and just plain awesome. They already started confusing people when they sold the 8GB iPod Touch 2nd Gen beside the 3rd gen without making any announcement of it. The 3G[S], 4, and 4S being sold at the same time, not bad, but meh... But I think that is taking it a little too far, I think the iPad is an amazing size, if you want it smaller, pull out your iPhone and use that when you don't wanna carry the iPad.
