    If true then what would they do with the specs? It would have to be the same as either the current iPad or the iPhone4 so as not to add another spec for devs to aim for.
    I'd go with the latter which case prepare for the hate to flow as Apple release "A 7inch iPhone without the phone"

    I had my first play of an iPad a few days ago, I'd never buy one (overpriced/etc/etc) but they are really nice devices I must admit!

    Would make sense if it was based on the iPhone 4 anyway as it has a better spec. than the iPad.

    I am slightly tempted to offer up a bet that there will be another spec for devs to aim for. This would reaffirm my theory that apple are starting towards the point that their actions and releases start to actually dilute their brand and disillusion their customers and developers

    So Apple sells the iPad saying it is so much better to have a large screen and now they are making a smaller iPad??? I am sure they will come up with some stupid marketing statements for this smaller iPad.

    So there will be 3 versions of apps? iPod, mini iPad and iPad??

    I don't know why I get pissed when I see/hear their ads. Maybe because smart people actually fall for the crap statements?? Or maybe smart people come up with lame excuses to explain stuff Apple should have done???

    I don't know...but you are right, I shouldn't care that much about a stupid company haha...
