Apple planning smaller 8-inch iPad?
Do you like this story?
The screen on the new device is said to be around 8-inches, smaller than the current gen iPad 2 which uses a 9.7-inch panel. Taiwan based AU Optronics Co. and LG Display Co. are both said to be involved in the project, unlike Sharp who are putting together panels for Apple's full size tablet.
The new 8-inch iPad apparently preserves the current iPad 2's screen resolution, which on a smaller display will no doubt make it look sharper. Do take all this with a pinch of salt though, as even if it is true, Apple frequently works with suppliers to test product ideas, not all of them come into fruition.
So is Apple working on two new iPads for release? Given all the alternative form factors on the market right now from the likes of Samsung and Motorola, it is entirely possible they want a chunk of the action themselves.
The real competitor to a device like this would be the Kindle Fire. Apple would need to drop its prices slightly if they wanted to truly be able to impinge on Kindle Fire territory, but its not entirely impossible. Don't forget as well that Apple is purported to be working on a bigger LTE packing iPad 3, with a Retina Display in tow. All these features could quite easily justify a premium and value model, like the iPod Classic and Nano before them.
