4500mAh for a tablet? Seems quite low to me.. Considering if the iPad Mini/Air comes with the beefy Retina Display.
Got a tip for us?

I kind of expected the "iPod Touch" to be renamed the "iPad Nano". (But it didn't happen)
It's interesting that when you use an iPhone app on the iPad, you can double the size but a full screen video doesn't use the full iPad screen which it could easily do. Similarly the pop-up keyboard uses the iPhone keyboard, rather than the iPad keyboard which it could do easily (and on the iPhone 5 the keyboard slides up but doesn't use the bottom of the screen when running an older iPhone 4 app). Apple usually doesn't want to make the wrong size app run well on the new screen - they want to FORCE developers to make the subtle changes required to have a custom app.
Which is all to say, perhaps if they don't force developers to change their design this time, but DO optimise a better use of a custom iPad Mini keyboard and video etc, it'll be enough to make a significant improvement.
I hadn't even thought about it replacing the iPad2. Makes sense.
Non retina looks bad on small screens as well as large. I just went and looked at the iPod nano in the apple store.. The pixelly non-sharp font is just glaring.
Is the battery 3 times larger than the iPhone 5?
Doesn't the iPhone 5 come with a "beefy" Retina Display?
It will come with a retina display. I promise.
I agree with you totally. The event is very probable. A smart man would say it probably is coming. I'm slowly thinking this too. It's never 100% certain till Apple says it is. And that's the point. People say it "will" happen before the Apple announcement.
It's not an official announcement from Apple. And we do not know what he does or does not know. All still speculation. Yep from Tim Cook (or any other Apple senior exec) carries a lot more weight then a yep from Jim Dalrymple. He could be right. And I hope he is. We shall soon see if he is.
Macbook Air ≠ iPad though. If the inbetween iPad could co-exist like different sized MBA's that'd be cool. But product cannibalisation always has to be thought of. No point making a inbetween iPad if people who were going to buy a large iPad change to a smaller size. That's less $ is sales. But if the inbetween size gets people who were not in the iPad market to buy an iPad then that's a good thing.
How about "iPad Petite"? Seriously, they have the Mac Mini so it follows they would just call it the iPad Mini. Although I kind of like "iPad Petite" it's alliterative, like Mac Mini.
Only if they come up with a way to read outside the house. iPad is great for indoors, impossible to read outdoors.
Is Apple's security just suck?
We have tons of leak this year after Jobs death.
Retina Models, iPhone 5, iPad Mini, jesus...

No I didnt wager on the 17th, because Jim hadn't said it was going to happen, so I knew it likely wasnt going to happen that day. Betting on Dalrymple being correct on an Apple event is only slightly less risky then betting on the Sun rising in the East, sure he could be wrong for the first time, but given the WSJ and others are already doing stories about it, I dont think thats likely.
