Server & Hosting Digitimes today drew attention to Applem likely upcoming plan to launch a scaled-down version of the iPad. It should have a 7,85″ display and should appear on the market in the fourth quarter of 2012. Even though Apple drží takřka 70% trhu s tablety, tak zmenšený iPad by měl být přímou odpověď na 7″ Kindle Fire od Amazonwhich is most likely to mix market shares, which is Apple probably afraid.
Digitimes sources further claim that there will be no display panels used Apple buy not only from LG Display, but also from AU Optronics, which is a subsidiary of Acer. According to earlier speculation, it should have "iPad Mini“ stejné rozlišení jako současný iPad (1024 x 768), ten by měl ve své příští generaci dostat Retina display (2048×1546).
no, mne sa to velmi nepozdava..chapem, ze chcu aby mal ipad (a celkovo ich produkty) co najlepsie zastupenie na trhu, ale zas az tak velmi sa hnat za peniazmi..poslednu dobu sa mi kroky appI'm starting to like it, and I'd rather be for the "old" company, which had its own interests and didn't try to force itself to push through and have primacy in everything, for example at the expense of quality and uniqueness
I don't understand the downsizing, the iPad is a good size, I can't imagine a smaller one...
well said Tomas, the quality is really going down.
I would welcome a small increase in the iPhone's display, but certainly not a decrease in the size of the iPad :-/
That's some classic speculation anyway... I think so apple is not just an ordinary company and will not take such steps. I HOPE! … just like I don't want to enlarge the display iPhone ...they'd better keep it the way it is!
Even the pull-out bar ala Android annoys me quite a bit while playing.
If I were to expand the assortment, I would like the iPod Touch 5″, and then the iPad 7″ fits nicely into it.
the wider the assortment, the more I push
Well, no way! If there really was a smaller iPad, it would Apple he has lost all my sympathy. He should not make moves just for the sake of competition. It should maintain its prestige and quality.
Exactly twice the iPod Touch. Many users would appreciate it :)
Exactly … $$$
You have a small mistake in the article: AU Optronics belongs to the Benq group, which bought AUO from Acer :)
My mistake :) I'm sorry ;)
