Especially if it is equipped with an LTE radio. Probably measured in double-digit minutes.

Oh wait - I just heard about iApples new strategy regarding the mini. It will be sold as a complement to the iPhone - it will use the iPhone as a tether for Broadband Internet access. iApple is going to be selling the iPhone bundled with the iMini for $1,000 (USD) and up. This is the latest scheme to get you to part with your hard-earned $ come Christmas [!]

Nope, I'm still trying to understand the point of tablets in general.

7" could do if you want a device to play games, read books draw, and social stuff. and with a good price it could be nice. but if you have a laptop.... well it could mean you may not need a tablet

Rememeber though, for the longest of times it was clear that Apple was not going into that space as it was not deemed profitable enough for them. If they decided to make a tablet in that range though, it would certainly affirm concerns of competition and with the reality that android tablets and now the oncoming windows 8 tablets are something that should worry about.

Did Apple ever say that was their reason for not coming out with a 7inch tablet? Saying that "it was clear" for the longest time is so subjective. I think the only thing we can assume is that they didn't find it profitable before and for some reason or another they now find it profitable. I feel like we have the tendency to attach a side story to everything Apple does to paint a picture of a fearful/struggling company. But then again, you could be right...

Sit on a couch for three hours watching TV while reading the news on your laptop and come back...

Then you will understand the point of tablets.

Well I'm back and I still don't understand. I'm going to need more reason than that to drop $400-500

You may not understand it because it will not fit to yours needs.

So you say that people are stupid like a sheeps and only Apple are smart and sheeps doesn't see the real thing until Apple says them what is real and what's not?

Lol, now we're complaining about being too thin. Well the iPhone 4/4S is the thinnest iPhone but it's actually the most repairable and customizeable. A lot of people change their phones color to red, pink or whatever by ordering parts online. It has nothing to do with thinness but a lot to do with how the phone is built. Why don't we save all the negativity until we actually see the phone.
