If true..at that price the amount they would sell would be phenomenal.
I see people all over the world wanting them.
Although I do think 8GB is to small, should be 16GB minimum.

Here's my prediction: the iPod Touch will be refreshed this fall and will have a bigger screen size.

never used the kindle and i'm not sure of the 7 inch is or the 9 inch is the perfect size,i just don't like the fact ppl call it iPad mini when it's only smaller by 1.85 inch.
remember those 6-inch iProduct rumors? it would make sense if they released a 6-inch iPad with $249 starting price....7.85 is just so close to the current size 9.7.
yea right. Apple isn't going down to $250. $299 absolute minimum for ipad. The premium is part of the Apple 'tude, they're not going to stoop to budget level products
it's too large and heavy for me to comfortably use and hold for more than a few minutes.
I don't think you understand how screens are measured. That small numerical difference makes for a sizable different product.
Try some small dumbbells (around 5 lbs.). After a few weeks, you will get used to it![]()
I think that most good tablets (with decent specs) aren't getting any smaller than around the 10" iPad range any time soon. The best, the iPad and the Transformer Prime, are exactly in this sweet spot.
The iPad 2 is already selling for $399. It wouldn't be too hard to shave off $100 for a 7 inch model.No way they are going to release a product this cheap. No reason to do so based on the market, and their costs don't drop even an interesting amount compared to the current iPad design.
$399 for an entry level, wifi only device would be the lowest option we might see, but even then they would be lowering margins significantly to enter a market where they I'll only sell 5% of the iPad volume today.
Bad business all the way around.
How do you they don't have iPhones? Just saying...unless you are walking right up to them, it's pretty hard to tell the difference in the two devices especially if they have a case on it.
Most kids I know that have iPod Touches want iPads now or something bigger.
On one hand.... I'm not considering an iPod purchase and not considering a 10" iPad purchase, but I'd jump all over a 7.85" iPad. That wouldn't cannibalize any sales.
On the other hand.... I'm probably in a very small minority.
I'm in the same boat. I'm a college student...I can't afford $700+ for an iPad. I have a 15" MBP and an iPhone 4. This is riiiiiight in the middle. Perfection.
Depending on configuration, the iPad starts at $399. The middle between 3.5" diagonal and 15" is 9.25" which is pretty close to the current iPad's 9.7". Going by # of pixels would put the middle even larger than the current 9.7". So, it sounds like you're good to go with current iPad![]()
