Ipad mini hardware

[Buckeyestar]

I expect essentially the same processor & screen specs at the iPad 2 (32nm A5 chip, 1024x768 screen) at 8GB and 16GB capacities (given similar capacities on the Kindle Fire and Nexus 7) or possibly even 16GB only. I'm going to predict Apple will direct people who want 32GB and 64GB capacities to the full-size iPad.

I'm predicting a "Lightning" connector instead of a 30-pin connector for sure VGA front camera and 3-5MP rear camera (if it even has a rear camera).

If there's only one 16GB capacity, I'm betting on a $299 price tag for a wifi model and $379 with a cellular modem. $50 less for an 8GB model.

I also think there's a very good chance they'll kill off the iPad 2 altogether and put the 7.8" iPad in its place at $349 wifi and $429 cellular.

The Kindle Fire HD comes in 16 and 32GB sizes.

It'll be an A6 and the iPad 4 will be an a6x.

Mass production of one chip will lower the price per unit.

The new ipod touch starts at $299, I highly doubt you will see an ipad mini at $249, probably $299 minimum, maybe $349.

The Kindle Fire HD comes in 16 and 32GB sizes.

But the original was 8GB and the Nexus 7 is 8 or 16GB.
