mattwnz: wellygary:There is also some?speculation?we may see an iPad 3 update to replace the old 30pin dock connector with the new lightning port. I think there will be a new ipad too with the new dock connector and possibly the A6 processor. It means that they can then also extend out the next big ipad update for another year. Wouldn't that make is a new ipad rather than an update, referring to the processor. Would be good, current ipad replaces the ipad2 and a newer version at the premium end, to be honest I can't see it happening as the current ipad is too new still.

It would be more like an 's' upgrade, like they did with the iphone 4. Also they probably need 4G on the ipad, which basically brings it up to the specs of the iphone5. The thing about apple though recently is that they tend to under deliver, so it may just have the new dock connector and that is all. Especially if the ipad mini will have the same processor specs as the ipad 2, which is using 1 and a half year old hardware. With the new MS surface there is now going to be so much choice for tablet devices.

mattwnz: Jaxson: ipad mini fills the gap between the ipod shuffle and a full ipad.? That is what the ipod touch is supposed to be. If it is going to be the same price as the ipod touch(which is very expensive for what it is) they are either going to need to drop the ipods price, or noone is going to buy it, and they will get a mini instead. A ipad mini would be far better for games for kids, which is what the ipod touch was previously targeted towards. Sorry that should have read fill the gap between the ipod touch and the ipad.  I was quite interested in the 7" china tablets as I wanted something smaller than an ipad but I can't stand using a phone sized device for most stuff I want.? I actually would prefer a simple phone for calling/messaging/taking quick photos/listening to music but a 7" tablet for mobile use and a full ipad for home use.? I do think there is a place for an intermediate 7" ish device, rather than have 'mobile' phones get larger and larger but still fundamentally have a much smaller screen than a 7" or 10" tablet.
