The competition is losing out because smaller tablets are less enjoyable to use than the 10-inch iPad. It's really that simple. Since the competition can't seem to figure out how to deliver a cheaper product than Apple except by making their table…

It doesn't add up that Apple would move 10 million of these units in less than two months, even if it is the holiday shopping season. The market for this device is not a clear one. For puttering around the house, clearly the iPad has this device b…

If on or about October 10 invitations go out, this thing is a go. If, on the other hand, if we get some claims that yield problems have delayed this device for a few more weeks, forget about it. There is no iPad Mini coming. I have to think that if…

It sure seems like there will be and yet it just doesn't add up. Why a $299 Touch and this device. Strange.
-
I can't believe that after releasing a $299 iPod Touch, there is still an attempt to claim that Apple has an interest in releasing a 7-inch tablet. It doesn't add up. There is a product slotted into pretty much every price point. The new iPh…

Considering we just got an iPod update featuring a price increase for the Touch, how is it that we're still talking about this mythical iPad Mini? If there's a $300 Touch and a $400 iPad, where does the Mini fit? The iPhone/Touch is the solution…

Let's face it, folks, the iPad Mini is not going to happen and I for one am glad to see it. The most interesting aspect of the new Touch is just how much of a difference the bigger screen is going to make. I suspect the difference will be more tha…

Does it matter that the Touch will be using a processor similar to the one now powering the iPad 2? Has anyone complained that the iPad is underpowered and if not, why would such processing power be a problem for a significantly smaller device?
-
The question is, why buy the Touch instead of the rumoured Mini. Simple. The Touch is pocketable and the Mini, if it will even be released, not so much. For situations in which pocketability is not important, I will do what I am already doing, nam…

[QUOTE][/QUOTE]One of the arguments in favour of an iPad Mini is that it's needed for the education market but the iPad 2 starting at $399 woukd appear to be serving that market well. Children, from what I've observed, have no problem with the cur…

[RIGHT][/RIGHT] Have you ever had childen complaining that the current iPad is unusable. I keep hearing this argument but it's not children who find the iPad, as is not to their liking. They like it just fine, thank you, based on what I 've witne…

Whatever Apple does in the next while, surely there is going to be some sort of logic applied to the product mix as a whole. If the Nano is effectively transformed into something akin to the current Touch and this rumoured iPad Mini will be priced i…

To me the evidence points to no iPad Mini. The release date delayed to October? Convenient. If there is no iPad Mini announcement next month, rumours of such a device can live on for at least another month. It's going to look suspiciously like an iP…

Priced identically to the Touch and now, we're told, plans to produce 4M units a month. This just gets curiouser and curiouser. Obviously I have no inside info but it just doesn't add up. The rumours are making less and less sense, raising doubts …
