iPad Mini of 7" is expected in October

At the end of last year were first rumors of a smaller iPad. They were also linked to a iPhone with a 4" screen. Returning to the tablet, they spoke about a screen 7.35" for the iPad, turning the popular terminal even more portable. Rumors are back in April, when it was circulated the size of 7.85".

It seems that the future iPad Mini will be launched in October, using IGZO type panels made ​​by Sharp.

The question is why Apple delayed the launch of this product. Over time, Apple was first to introduce products for the consumption of primarily paid content. iPad is the best example. Last year, Amazon launched Kindle Fire, a 7" tablet, just good for reading books from the virtual library. This month, Google has released with the help of Asus the Nexus 7 tablet.

With a very low price, its purpose is the consumption of digital paid content on Google Play.

It is assumed that a future iPad with a 7.85" screen will enter the market in October, with a base price of $ 299. It would cost more than Kindle Fire or Nexus 7, but we should not forget that it has on it a Apple logo. Apple customers are used to pay more.

 It seems that Apple realized that a 7" tablet is more portable and easier to use for reading.

Steve Jobs would never have allowed this: Apple launches a controversial gadget

Apple, highly appreciated for iPhone and iPad, is preparing to attack a new type of consumers.

Apple will launch in October a new tablet smaller than iPad. The gadget will be called iPad Mini and will have 8 GB, said a analyst from Pacific Crest.
