u forgot the iPods![]()
I think I found the perfect name for the new Mini.
How about iPid
Think about it. First there was iPod, then came iPad, and now iPid.
Interesting ribbon cable color for the iPad. Maybe some sort of heat dissipating material.....
jack would be at the top of the device as on the full-size iPad.
I wonder if it'll be called an iPad Mini or a new name.
I just think it's nice when people make an effort, when posting in a forum, to make their writing easy to read. It's a mark of respect to the reader.
Cutting down on excessive exclamation marks and capitalisations and trying to use full sentences, that sort of thing.
As for having nothing to say, are you suggesting your comment about standards is adding something? That conversation has been had so many times. It's right up there with the iPhone numbering convention and the screen size hoopla when it comes to worn out topics.
Micro USB is fiddly and annoying and breaks pretty easily. The new Dock Connector looks like it'll be easier to connect, and more robust.
Also, Apple can make more cash money selling cables and licensing 3rd party products using their own design.
iPod Touch, as a brand, is relatively week. I wouldn't be surprised if they ditched it.
Why not just make the iPod touch part of the iPad family. There could be three sizes of iPad; the standard iPad, rumoured iPad mini and the current but updated iPod touch. In fact, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if the iPad mini replaced the iPod Touch.
Agree it could leave the iPod brand in limbo as the only remaining products would be nano, shuffle and classic. But then I suppose they could just square off the iPod brand as primarily music players.
why still ''aaapleee' MUST do oposite as standard?? i really DONT understand
if there is STANDARD everybody MUST folow it !!!
There is ***** M I C R O U S B port standaard dear apple !! u exeption
hate this so much !! so all other mobile manuf. they do as is standard but this company ignores !! IGNORANCE
Anyway if this iphon 5 gonna be same design then it is gonaaa be booooriingg all the same blee
Am I the only one who is sick of seeing this small parts of various devices... JESUS! Whether it has 1 or 10 pins, I don't give a **** unless I am the engineer who has to interface these components into the product I will actually use.
Ahhhh... much better now.![]()

I dont think Nexus 7 is such a bad name or a tongue twister, its simple. The nexus line is well known and the 7 implies the screen size.
iPad = iPad
(new) smaller iPad = iPad Mini
iPod Touch = iPad Nano
iPods reserved for music players only?
The left one is for new iPod touch and right one for new iPhone.
I can't see how a mini ipad could possibly add any new functionality to the apple lineup.
I could maybe understand a 10 inch and 8 inch ipad similar to how laptops come in 11 and 13 and ....

The iPad jack and dock look way to close together.
If the distance between the dock connector and headphone jack are precisely the same as on the alleged next iPhone, look for a universal integrated Apple dock connector that uses both the "dock connector" and the headphone jack simultaneously.

hardware is hardware no one really has much of an advantage, it's design and functionality that are key, I can't see how a mini ipad could possibly add any new functionality to the apple lineup. Smaller doesn't mean cheaper.
The only reason there is a 7inch tablet market is because the makers want to offer something different from apple and they make no profits on them at all.
For apple to make a 7 inch tablet is just bananas to me, people will want a 7 inch ipad for sure but not over a ipad or an iphone.
I could maybe understand a 10 inch and 8 inch ipad similar to how laptops come in 11 and 13 and 15 inch models, but at the price bracket these are coming in at the hardware has to suffer to actually compete with the cheapskate consumer that buys amazon tablets.
I mean price overides features for these customers and they are the furthest thing from apples consumers that you could find.
Oh well I suppose there is nothing wrong with a smaller ipad it just seems like more choice in a quite crowded area of apples domain that won't win any new sales but might make it much harder to deny getting apple over other tablets.
What I really hope is that this is just an updated dock to the current newipad...
