iPad Mini coming soon, says Bloomberg

Very quiet at this time. Personally I do not believe much in the case of Apple releasing an iPad with smaller size. Still, given the news agency Bloomberg that the company led by Tim Cook has been preparing a tablet smaller than the iPhone third generation. "Apple plans to release a smaller and cheaper iPhone by the end of the year," says the agency.


Bloomberg found from two sources "with knowledge of these plans," without naming names, that the device would display with 7 or 8 inches. The product is not supposed to follow the concept of Retina Display (screen High pixel density) used in a new model of MacBook Pro and iPhone 3.

That's all the news site says about some specialized vehicles are called "iPad Mini." I wonder if Apple would sacrifice the user experience towards a smaller and cheaper product that is able to compete on equal terms with the Nexus 7, the tablet designed by Google and manufactured by Asus which was announced last week during the conference Google I / O. Of course Apple can embed a screen resolution of Cases, this supposed older iPad Mini, and thus ensure compatibility with all applications present in the App Store.

The Nexus 7 is $ 199 U.S. (plus local taxes). Price well below the iPad simpler, with 16 GB of storage and Wi-Fi: $ 499 (plus local taxes) in that country. The tablet Google, in terms of price, competes directly with the iPhone 4S, also from Apple, which costs the same value, but with two-year contract with any mobile operator.
