1. Keep repeating same rumour each year.
2. Get page hits.
3. Proclaim yourself winner if it eventually happens!
I remember two to three years of 'Apple will come out with a tablet computer this year' rumors before it actually happened.
just a thought
just a thought but i can see this working...
i would probably keep my iPhone around a lot longer without updating, just create a wifi hotspot and use the iPad mini for all media consumption on the go..
or heck maybe even downgrade to a crummy HTC that can create a wifi hotspot ...
maybe apple would shoot themselves in the foot on this one... but then thats just me...

I do not understand why so many people invest so much emotion in what Apple will, or won't do. I see this as the next logical step for Apple to take with the iPad.
naysayers are so in denial... the "iPad mini" is already in early stages of production around the world despite the late Steve Job's disapproval... you do realize there are millions of people involved in the production process, it's called the supply chain... the words do get out one way of the other...

Why do people seriously still think that a 7-inch iPad is possible?
This is not a 7" iPad but really an 8" tablet, which is significantly larger than 7", about 30% in area.
Also Jobs is notorious for going back on his strongly worded opinion and do the exactly opposite. Tim Cook has recently commented on Jobs' ability to change his opinion.
iPod Mini didn't really do anything better than the iPod classic except being smaller, cheaper, and in some ways sleeker than the bigger sibling. iPad Mini will probably be the iPod Mini of iPad. It'll be smaller, and if we believe the rumors it'll be probably thinner and have less bezel. It won't be as comfortable to use as iPad at home, but those who want smaller or a cheaper iPad it'll be a great buy. Plus it'll still be big enough for most iPad apps and there'll be a ton of apps available from the beginning.
Another thing to think about iPad Mini here is that if Apple can make it reasonably small and give it 3G/LTE, it might even affect sales of not only 7" Android tablets but also large Android phones given that it comes with a ton of tablet-optimized apps but that remains to be seen.
Even when Jobs was alive, Apple kept working with display suppliers on smaller displays. Thus it was clear that even Jobs was at least contemplating the possibility.
Look, I could care less because my iPhone 4 is like a ******** mini iPad.
What I want is a pen based iPad where there is no noticeable lag. You hear me!!!!

My personal preference is to have Apple enter the 7 inch market against the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire. Apple's relentless attack on Android has gone too far. I would rather have Apple battle Android with new products then to see one more lawsuit. And if you don't like a 7 inch iPad then don't buy one. I hate when people say that something is too big or something is too small. It's not my job or anyone else's to make that determination. The consumer will decide it's fate if or when this tablet comes to market.
I will be getting a Nexus 7 and will look forward to a iPad mini. This battle will be a win win for everyone. Cheaper tablets and greater selection. Just imagine a world without competition. Apple would have released the iPad at higher cost and would have no desire to update them.

I'll bite. Making the next iPhone taller and not wider would be one of the dumbest ideas to ever come out of Apple. I think it would be a huge blunder.
I don't think it will be any worse than releasing a phone(3GS) with the same design from one year ago. That was supposed to doom Apple...until they set the sales record. Then it happened again two years later (4S) and it was supposed to really destroy Apple...until it set another sales record.

No freakin way
No way I'm putting any money in that dirthole. I'd rather China own us than Brazil. Not that I would buy this watered down kindle killer anyway, but whatever.

Truth is that they are revamping the iPod touch to a 5.5 inch model. Runs the same iPhone apps, wifi only

Apple stopped doing that cause the developers couldn't keep their mouths shut
You could very well be right and the iPhone 5 prototype design from last year turned out to be much ado about nothing. However the whole thing about the new iPhone design reminds me of this post by a member Anuba from 2010, when the upcoming iPhone 4 design was taking a lot of flak
Think of it as a larger iPod not a smaller iPad. I think it will just replace the current iPod Touch, which has been progressively going down in sales. There is no reason why Apple should continue to produce the iPod Touch in its current form when it is going extinct. A bigger iPod with cell service and voice for Facetime/Skype would be huge especially for women since you can fit it in a purse.
everyone with any business sense should start investing in the accessory market for this baby:

lol!
Seriously though I am in the market for one, if they can put retina on it. I prefer to have a device this size and a simple keypad phone instead.
Do you need sandpaper for your iPhone?
My wife and I collectively have an iPad 1, 2, and 3. She has an iPhone 4S, I have an iPhone 4. So, we really don't need any more iDevices...
HOWEVER
If a new iPad 7" is released, I'd buy one.
If my wife lets me.
I would have to convince her I really NEED one... with bullet points like carrying the iPad3 in by messenger bag and the iP7 in my hands, needing to read for extensive periods of time while standing on the subway, needing a second screen for some stuff that I use the iP4 for...
But she probably won't let me...

'have to convince her', 'probably won't let me'.....yo man, you need some scene control.
False. Along with the release of the iPad 3 was a new iPad 2. There are currently four models of iPad 2s. The 2,1 (Wifi only, no longer in production), the 2,2 (Wifi + GSM), the 2,3 (Wifi + CDMA), and the brand new iPad 2,4 (Wifi only, currently in production with the new A5 chip on the 32nm node, all other models are on the old 45nm node).
The new iPad 2 on the 32nm node is reported to have better battery performance (duration) than any other iPad, including the new iPad 3s.
