[Accidental Post]

PB death machine?

Apple, iPhone and iPad News | ModMyi - Apple Rumored to Begin Production of a 7 inch iPad in the Second Quarter of 2012

Not for me, it is still apple. Could be though. I thought according to you the playbook is all ready dead so why do you ask if this will kill it?

[mjs416]

Icrap by any other size is still crap.

I never said PB was dead.......unfinished, half-baked,beta, yes....

Exactly.

Highly doubt they'd go back on what Steve stated. I think there would be public uproar...

I think it's human nature for the engineers and EVPs to want to put out things that Steve vetoed before, but that they thought would work. I won't be surprised if the next iPad is thicker (something that would have caused Jobs to fire or shoot somebody), but that little extra thickness will allow a gorgeous new display. That's a trade off that many people would consider a good one, but that violated Steve's obsession with thickness.

And I can see them doing a 7" iPad because they don't want to give that up to Amazon. Amazon is a credible threat with an excellent retail presence that surpasses Apple.

This was probably already in motion when Steve was still alive. It wouldn't be the first time he said something and then the total opposite happened.

So essentially an apple iTouch?

[mustangv8]

Will they put a $500 price tag on it. Being an unproven product and believe it will compete with the ipad with the 10" screen?

[llllBULLSEYE]

I been saying this for months they know there's a market for 7"
probably call it the iPLAY
On the go I always take my playbook instead of the ipad.

It will probably run $100 cheaper than the cheapest 10" iPad. Also, it isn't unproven. It has the iPad branding, that's all it needs to sell. It will be interesting to see which version sells more, if this rumor is true.

A 7inch ipad, would be just the excuse to get a playbook or android tablet. I keep threatening to get a playbook but some 'L' lenses for the holidays, put that on hold.

So I have a 4ish inch iPhone and a 10 inch ipad. I have to change them practically every year cause they become prehistoric in 12 month cycles. Now these guys want me to buy a 7 inch unit too. So let me understand-- I have to generate about 2000$ of net income every year to do MY part in supporting Apple. OK boys, settle down! How much of my money do you gangsters want? Keep your 7 inch oversized iphone!
