Do we really need an iPad mini?

Not sure a smaller iPad would work. The size right now is nice and I could see people wanting a bit larger (but lighter) version more than a smaller version. Just get an iPod touch if smaller is what you're looking for.

Quote:3. Supposedly, a 7-inch "iPad mini" will come out either later this year or in early 2011. I'd say this one could go either way. I can certainly see a market for a smaller iPad, but squeezing the iPad's hardware into a smaller form factor may cause a significant hit to battery life -- the battery dominates most of the internal space of the current iPad.

I've played with an Android tablet called iRobot 7in tablet and all. So this I guess will not be. Exactly like an ipad but feels android....I'll give it a miss.

ahaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Why not keep an eye on "iFunia resource" to get the newly and simply info???

Anybody got an approximate date for their press conference? I'm holding out for hopefully a new iPod Touch(hopefully iPhone 4 esque, without the hardware problems), as I have a U2 30GB 5G iPod Video. Battery life on it has gone down to about and hour and a half of video... And its getting really hard to wait....my birthday is august 31st...so, any approximate date?

It's pure comedy that people still think that there will be a Verizon iPhone. If Verizon was on the verge of collapse and had to give up the idea of the control they want, maybe. Apple will never budge. Not even for any amount of profit they could make off that.

Just get a droid phone. It's the best rip-off money can buy.

I disagree with the reasoning behind 4. It's certainly likely that Apple could be changing there strategy regarding iPhone releases. One year is a very long time to release new hardware updates, especially in the ever changing mobile phone market. This is one of the reasons Android sold so many phones in Q2 - more than Apple. Its because by month 9, the iphone 3gs was very outdated, and so many people ended up being a new DroidX with much better hardware than waiting for the new iphone in June.

I'm not holding my breath for a 7" iPad. Why? First of all 7" is a tweener. Maybe okay for a single purpose e-reader but to be a mobile computing device? iPad apps esp games are optimized for the current screen size. I don't think they'll work well scaled down to a 7" screen.

If they discontinue the iPod classic, I hope they at least bump up the storage capacity of the iPod Touch to at least the same as the discontinued models. We need a 250GB, or better yet a 500GB iPod. Some of us have serious music collections.
