So, I'm thinking of buying the new iPad
I previously owned the Acer Iconia A500, nice but too heavy, even if it had expandable storage. I currently own the Samsung Galaxy 8.9 which is a decent weight and a good size. I bought those for the freedom and I really dig widgets.
My brother has an iPad 2. I own an iPod 3 and iPod 4. I have a lot invested in iTunes, movies and tv shows.
I am tempted by the HD of the new iPad but weight is the issue. I got rid of my Acer because it weighed too much. I've played with my bros iPad 2 a lot and for me it weighs too much for one handed use.
Do you guys think that Apple will release a iPad mini or iPod maxi at around the 7 inch spec?
It's the one thing that Apple has over Google, I like to own my content and have it when I want it, movies and tv shows.
I'm so torn and I like widgets so much.

What did your Acer weigh? Ah, 1.69 lbs. The iPad is 1.4.

Absolutely not.

What part of I traded in the Acer for a Galaxy 8.9 because of the weight did you not get?

I asked a question. I fail to see how your statement directly relates to said question.
The iPad weighs more than the Tab 8.9, which makes sense, given that it's larger.

Hard to say, there are a few rumors going around that Apple might release a new 7 inch pad. Also Tim did say expect to see plenty more innovation 'across' the year.

If you don't get it I guess you just don't "get it". Seriously global mod?

There were a few rumors going around in 2007 and 2008 that Apple would make an "iPhone nano". Because if there's one thing that people complain about, it's that the iPhone is too big.

Tim says a lot of things. None of which can be construed as referring to new products.

If you'd enlighten me as to your point, I'd be grateful. And as to why you think my being a moderator has anything to do with your problem.

No. If you want something smaller, Apple would say get an iPod touch or iPhone. If Apple delivers another iPad form factor, I believe they will go bigger (13 to 14 inches).
The problem with a 7" tablet for Apple is that they think applications will have to be designed specifically for that size. They do not want to use the same iPhone apps that'll appear huge or the same iPad apps that'll appear tiny. So in effect, a 7" tablet is a new "platform" and they would have to put developers through yet another transition or add to their development load, where they will have to design their app specifically for a 7" size.
Maybe in another couple years when developers have had more time to adjust to retina displays on iPads and iPhones/iPods, Apple might add it.

Wait, wait, wait. First of all, why are you mad about this? Yes, your android tablets are going to be considerably heavier than the iPad. That being said, if the iPad 2 is "too heavy" for one hand, you should probably hit the gym, my man.

Thank you Shrike for actually reading my post. I've just wanted an iPod Touch with a little bigger screen since I got my Photon. I don't like to use my Photon as a media player because to get the same battery life I would have to turn off the 3g and Android does not have access to the iTunes market anyway
I don't think they ever will. I think Hollywood is holding out for Windows 8.

Cant imagine why, they have came to the party way too late!

Going from a Android 3.2 environment to a iPad iOS one is a hard one to make. Will this be your first iPad? Regardless of what you read here, iOS is not a superior OS compared to Android. iOS was designed to make only Apple content attractive. If your not prepared to drink the Apple Coolaid and spend a small fortune in apps and content then please do your self a favour and skip this platform all together.
The iPad however has tons of games, music and productivity apps. Apples hardware quality is amazing and on par with the Motorola Xoom 2, which is great. The screen resolution can't be beat. The battery is fantastic for a LTE device, best in the industry.
