Wait a minute. $200 to $250? Assuming this is US pricing, let's look at the pricing of the iPod Touch. It's priced at $199 for an 8GB model, $299 for the 32GB version and $399 for the 64GB version. If Apple releases a tablet priced identical…

If the Touch gains a larger screen, why bother with an iPad Mini. A larger Touch makes sense and if Apple plans to offer such a product, the rumoured Mini seems rather pointless. Of course, if there is no Mini announced next month, there will be c…

My belief is that there will not be two products as in an iPod Touch and an iPad Mini. Instead, the Nano will be a little less nano and the Touch will become a larger device to slot in below the iPad. Keeping existing price points from the Nano and …

The sweet spot, in my opinion, would be even larger than 4 inches but still small enough to have a legitimately pocketable device. Do that and forget about the rumoured 7.85-inch iPad. If Apple released such a device but kept the price to cu…

[QUOTE][/QUOTE] Whatever Apple does, there isn't room for the Touch and a tweener tablet as described. My guess is that Apple is working on a bigger Touch but not so big that it loses its ability to fit in most pockets. That should be the design go…

The Surface is about getting far more expensive software, which Microsoft make a lot of money from, onto tablets. The iPad model is based on insanely inexpensive software that Microsoft does not profit off of, certainly not in any appreciable manner…

Apple does care about profit but it's approach is a little different, at least when Jobs was running the show. The reasoning is that if you make a product that consumers will love to use over time, you can charge more and sell a lot of them for a …

If this is about generating sales, there's a much less expensive approach. Start by lowering the US price of the iPad 2 to $349. Then you update the Touch with a larger screen, let's say 4.7 inches. The Touch is overdue for an overhaul and I don't t…

So many reports claiming the iPad 7-inch model is coming and still there seems a rather odd sort of product spread unfolding, if that were to in fact happen. It's hard to imagine that the iPod Touch would go up to 4 inches, be priced around $200 t…
