Yet another reason to hate Samsung.
Sure, hate the company reportedly supplying those "Retina" displays for your beloved iPad 3 you probably ordered. That makes sense.

Apple is going to be furious about this leak. I remember a similar leak that cost a certain graphics card manufacturer the contract for supplying the graphics cards for MacBook Pros and iMacs.
Couldn't this guy get busted for insider trading if he decided to sell/buy some stock ?
Why are so many people convinced a smaller iPad is a bad idea? Even Apple sells MBAs and MBPs with different screen sizes and I've never heard anyone suggest that is a bad idea?
More freedom of choice, not good? wtf
It's funny: Samsung, one of Apple's greatest tablet competitors, is claiming Apple is following in Samsung's footsteps!
Sounds like they want us to buy Samsung tablets now, since they're the iPad of the future...
Yes, any day now, Apple will have a 7" iPad, a television set, Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and maybe a new Mac Pro.

KISS principle. Look it up
smaller ipad = kindle fire competitor
Well, if Apple was really motivated to extinguish the Fire, this would be the way to do it.Exactly. They need to compete better on price, even if the lesser priced model isn't the focus of the iPad line. Introduce a $299 model that after a year can run for $199.

As a develolper I hope not, unless they maintain the 1024x768 resolution it is going to cause fragmentation in UI requirements. As a user I really don't care, I don't see myself wanting smaller than 9.7", it is the perfect size IMO.
smaller ipad = kindle fire competitor
In which way would that benefit Apple? Amazon is selling the Kindle Fire almost exactly at cost, while Apple makes a very decent amount of money from every iPad sale. Why would Apple even _want_ to compete with Amazon on price? They certainly don't _need_ to.
Well. Samsung would definitely know this. After all they are the ones who produce LCD panels for iPad 3 (and probably the smaller version too).
Is there really a need for a slightly smaller iPad? This still doesn't make much sense to me, it would require additional production facilities, design and parts for an iPad that people would probably overlook in favor of the regular sized iPad.
