A 7.85" Sharp IGZO display to land in a new iPad Mini, priced between $249 and $299

I'd be shock if it even had a micro sd card, oh I forgot, Apple doesn't improvise that, they want to charge 1 hundred bucks for every memory upgrade, they make it expensive because they know you iSheeps will buy them, they're making you their cash cows, how sad.

Get rid of that bezel!

There is a 64 GB iPod that would be more than this, wouldnt this just get rid of all iPod sales, since this would be more affordable?

I wouldn't want to buy a tablet with " REVOLUTIONARY" single core, 800 Mhz processor when nexus 7 is quad core Tegra 3 powered. I can bet that if iFruit does indeed release a 7 incher for less price, it would be beefy enough like the nexus. as iFruit would want to extort as much money from users as possible.
I wont be surprised if it costs $300 for 8 GB with 512 MB RAM.....

wow its astonishing how many people really dedicate their lives to bashing on apple, sad really LoL.
i would definitely go for that mini, with all the crazy games coming out on the appstore?, game on!
however.... that would be the only reason as it seems all the good dev's out there dont pay attention to android

I guess I'm glad to see that now that Steve is dead, Apple has stoped thinking differently, and started listening to consumers. Here's hoping they'll dump that virus known as iTunes.

I'm sure Apple is already in the works to sue everyone else that has made a 7" Tablet for patent infringement, the day the iPad mini is released.

welp the tablet game is just about to be sowed up...

$250 is very affordable for a tablet...

on top of that the "apple" brand...

RIP Nexus 7

Wait...http://goo.gl/tJdi
I'm sure that this tablet will sell more than the 10". First, it will be more affordable, and second, what does apple do that the fanboys don't buy?

They needed to give some answer to the Nexus 7.
I really want to see how the new Nexus Phones will be and how the new IPhone will stand against then.

This is sad... Apple iFanboys are already saying RIP to the already launched Nexus 7 over an iDevice that is just a big dumb rumor at the moment. LMFAO.... I'm sorry to say that an iPad mini has been in the rumor mill for a few years now and we still haven't seen the effing thing! What a huge disappointment it's going to be for these iFans...Hahaha

Nexus 7 has already set a nice benchmark for low priced phones with high specs... and considering that the iPad line of devices has a history of being overly priced.. i wouldnt be surprised if indeed a $250 ipad mini has low graphics and even lower RAM.. all those crayz, graphically intense games on app store would be useless...
If apple can manage high specs and low price..it would be great.. else it would be a failure for many.

put just a5x, 512 mb ram and 32 gb at 249$ and this will be a steal.... retina display can be optional.. apps n games r key for me

wow!! applereally know what is business...they will really challenge low end market?

if they will it will be nice... but if they will challege that market, specs of the iPad mini, for the $249 8gb memory and $299 16gb i think no deal... but if they will make this the new iPod touch, huge screen new OS with 16gb internal on $249!!!

Well the funniest thing is that apple thinks it has a chance against google's android. Android already has more than 400 million devices and 1 million devices are getting activated everyday with more than 1.5 billion application downloads every month. Then apple tries to compete with google's main points of strengths (maps, voice and free open source OS). If you look at the voice search on android and compare it to siri, you will see that apple has no way to beat google's technologies.

Also the fact that apple tries to stop samsung from selling its phones and tablets in America, shows that even apple knows that it cant compete with these companies. Apple only makes cunsumer electronics while samsung makes consumer electronics, home appliances, and many more, also it makes its OWN CPU and parts for its phone while apple stops samsung from selling in america but still buys huge amounts of samsung's CPUs. How many phones out there get more than 10 million pre orders and become the most sold phone before it even comes out into the market?

Apple is slowly becoming history. Apple already lost to Microsoft, IBM and Intel because Apple worked on its own, and the other companies worked together to bring out products quicker, at a higher quality and lower price. If you can see it, Apple is repeating the whole wheel again.
