Bloomberg: iPad Mini Coming in October [Updated]

[Kevin777]

Apple isn't going to release a smaller iPad. It's really that simple.

Of course they won't! That would look really stupid and redundant next to the 7" iPod Touch XL that they are coming out with this fall....

One 7" device at a time, please!

If this mini iPad is ISO 7736 compliant (double DIN 180 x 100 mm panel or 7.086" x 3.93") it will put many car radio manufacturers out of business.

The US standard for a Double DIN sized radio is a 4" x 7" so lets hope for something really close to that.

It would fit perfectly in your car. Someone would make a snap on adapter gizmo and we'd be able to take it with us in the car, remove it when we got to our destination.

Can't wait!!

Expect I'm not sure it would catch on with anyone who bought a decent car in the past 5 years, ( not cheapo eco boxes ). Tend to already come with really good navigation/sound/some even have internet and all of that built in.

My GM has one, and it works VERY well.

It really is simple, other companies are already starting to release pint sized tablets, Apple will want a piece of that market. Money in the bank. So they will.

Naysayers: Make Your Pledge Now....

I just want every naysayer and unbeliever to post a quote officially announcing that, on pain of having every Apple device in their possession confiscated, they will not buy any 7" Apple device that comes out this Fall, until exactly one year has passed from it's release date.

Really. Naysayers. Just do that one simple thing....

Does your iPad not function as advertised?

Can we please stop using that "mockup" every time this story comes around? It doesn't do anything to help people perceive a size difference.

The mockup they're using is far better than using one that mimics the Nexus 7.

This smaller iPad, if true, will sell in massive numbers. In turn, as usual Apple will reap very good profits. If there's one thing that Apple truly excels in is pressuring the suppliers to give them the lowest possible price. Therefore Apple's in a position to enjoy their typically high margin, as they sell it for a premium price that only they can command.

Everyone wins. The consumer gets the device they desire, and Apple gets every last penny. Perfect.

Samsung wins court case against Apple because it's "not as cool"

Hot off the press!:

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/samsung-wins-court-case-against-142132028.html

So even the courts have now ruled: Even if everything else is "equal", an Android-based device is just "not as cool" as a matching Apple device...

And that is why Apple will blow out all the other 7" tablet competition, and be able to charge more for a 7" tablet:

Because Android are just not as "cool" as Apple!
