"Apple prepping iPad mini - ReportBy Tom Magrino, GameSpotPosted Mar 1, 2012 11:34 am PTTech company said to begin manufacturing 7.85-inch Kindle Fire competitor later this year, possibly priced at $250 to $300. 1Share this on Username or email Password or Sign Up Forgot password? FacebookApple enthusiasts are looking to next week for the first details on the iPad 3, but that may not be the only tablet-related announcement the company has up its sleeve. DigiTimes reports today that Apple may also unveil an iPad mini. An iPhone 4 is 4.5 inches, for those wondering. According to DigiTimes' sources, Apple's iPad makers have begun manufacturing prototype devices that measure 7.85 inches in height. The current iPad 2 model measures 9.5 inches, down from the original iPad's 9.58 inches. The report notes that Apple is positioning the device as a competitor to Amazon's $200 Kindle Fire. Production on the device is expected to ramp up in the July-September 2012 quarter, though no launch date was provided. DigiTimes' sources also indicated that the iPad mini will retail for $250 to $300. Apple will be holding a press event on March 7 at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center. The media briefing coincides with the 2012 Game Developers Conference, which will occupy San Francisco's Moscone Center from March 5-9. "

When will people learn that just because Apple sends out specs for a device, that doesn't mean shit when it comes to actually being released? Talk to the Chinese dumbasses that made thousands of teardrop shaped iPhone 5 cases last year and see how much stock they're willing to put into dumb rumors like those.

3/1/2012 11:34:09 PM

^ ha, i bet they make the same mistake again.

3/2/2012 9:16:07 AM

it's China. It's not like it cost them anything in labor to actually put the shit together. and they can just dump the shit in a river if it doesn't work out

3/3/2012 1:20:44 PM

If apple makes an 8 inch tablet for under 300 bucks I'll probably be all over it.

I'm no fan of Apple and haven't bought any of their products since the first gen ipod mini, but nobody else has put out a decent 8 inch tablet for a reasonable price.

how does Steve Jobs' decaying penis taste, man

3/3/2012 6:41:47 PM

You've really got it all wrong. I didn't even like Steve Jobs all that much when he was alive. I just thought it was an amusing picture.

But then again, being a dumbass is kind of your thing, so carry on doing what you do best, I suppose.

3/3/2012 6:50:43 PM

if this tactile feedback rumor turns out to be true it would be pretty cool

3/7/2012 9:16:10 AM

i pray they accept preorders online (like they did for the 4S) for delivery to my home

fuck that waiting in line shit, but I already sold my other iPad and I'm ready for the replacement

3/7/2012 9:38:26 AM

apple store site is updating

3/7/2012 10:13:38 AM

If it's got the haptic feedback shit and the retina display I'll start turning tricks to buy one.

3/7/2012 10:23:28 AM

what time is this shit.

3/7/2012 11:30:21 AM

1pm eastern

3/7/2012 11:47:58 AM

this will be my first iPad. I sat out the first two.

3/7/2012 12:19:39 PM

who the hell is Tim Stevens

Tim Cook is the one on stage.

I heard Steve Jobs was unavailable for this one.

3/7/2012 1:20:54 PM

theoretical 73Mbps speeds.... for the first 5 GB i guess.

3/7/2012 1:34:43 PM

fuck I was really hoping they would avoid having to have 2 variants (AT&T, Verizon) of the 4G LTE model

Spot on. Fast speeds are great but worthless if I cant use it more than a week.

3/7/2012 1:52:26 PM

Is there a general consensus on which provider is the best for 4G LTE in North Carolina?

3/7/2012 1:56:24 PM

don't know much about iPad network coverage plans, how much do the carriers charge for these devices?

3/7/2012 2:05:00 PM

i would guess the coverage is the same as for other cell phones. you'd have to go to att/verizon's website to look for pricing.

"the new ipad" ????? really??? lol

Jobs never would have tolerated such a lousy name. Guess it's time for the Is Apple in decline thread...

3/7/2012 2:40:23 PM

I was hoping they would do an ipad mini and an ipad nano...

3/7/2012 2:58:07 PM

"the new ipad" is lame for sure... but seems like they want to get away from the number naming convention...

"introducing the NEW IPAD 11S HD!!!!"

3/7/2012 3:06:36 PM

^ same here. i'd be all over a 7"-8" model

3/7/2012 3:06:57 PM

lol

3/7/2012 3:08:36 PM

I honestly don't understand why everyone is getting all worked up about "The new iPad" Is it really that big of a deal what the name is? Everyone's going to call it the iPad3 anyway.

3/7/2012 3:09:22 PM

has anyone been able to preorder yet? i still haven't gotten through.

3/7/2012 4:02:37 PM

Yeah, I got my confirmation email already.

3/7/2012 4:06:28 PM

I got through and managed to snag a 64 4G (AT&T) black and an apple tv

I got the confirmation email about 2 minutes later. Hoping I made the right choice with AT&T, didn't have much time to research

3/7/2012 4:09:02 PM

How much do you think I could get a refurb or used but good condition Ipad 2 for when this comes out?

3/7/2012 4:18:12 PM

I would guess starting around $300 for used, probably $350 or so for Apple bought refurbs.

3/7/2012 4:19:37 PM

only differences i read are the better display and faster network.

is that it? no improved processor or design?

3/7/2012 4:27:36 PM

yes, a5x quad core processor

3/7/2012 4:29:18 PM

"yes, a5x quad core processor GPU"

Still a dual core processor, btw. Also 1GB of RAM instead of the old 512 amount.

3/7/2012 4:30:18 PM

okay i got to the page where i can select the color & model type...now what? nothing's showing up on the right hand side like it normally does when you order from their site (still says Summary, Learning more about buying iPad, Choosing iPad, etc). i don't see a continue button or anything.

3/7/2012 4:42:24 PM

^yeah me neither.

-nvm continue pops up on top right.

3/7/2012 5:07:48 PM
