The iPod will get a 4-inch screen ala the next iPhone and that will likely be as close to an iPad Mini as we're gong to get. Looking at it from Apple's perspective, what's the point of having a 7-inch iPad. The 10-inch iPad has positively decimated …

The reason why those other devices we unveiled so soon before becoming widely available is that Apple needed to apply for FCC approval for such devices well in advance since they employed communications technology requiring FCC approval. Being as …

Let's start by considering price point. The IPad 2 starts at $399 US. The Touch runs from $199 for 8GB, $299 for 32GB and $399 for 64GB. This mini iPad, one could speculate, would wind up at something like $349 for 16GB. While one can easily get aw…

Apple will not change the aspect ratio. There is too much software out there designed for the existing ratio. What is interesting, though, is that if the IPhone gets a bigger screen, the companion Touch will, too. If that happens, forget about a 7…

Seems to me that it's credible of DigiTimes that it is predicting there will be another iPhone revision, which is certainly implied by claiming somebody thinks it's worth building a facility just to make them. That's worth something, right?

Why not make the iPod Touch a little bigger yet keep the price the same. That would kill off the notion of a 7-inch iPad and yet offer a good, affordable product for those who just want something they can slip into an average-sized pocket. Makes s…

I really think Apple will make a larger Touch and will ensure that it remains comfortably a pocketable device. There is no rational value in a device that is not as convenient to take with you on the go as a Touch yet isn't as enjoyable to use as …

Apple didn't chase the tablet market before releasing the IPad because there was no tablet market before Apple released the IPad. You can't chase what does not exist. When a consumer buys Apple, it's never about price in relation to specifications.…

A drop in SSD pricing would not likely translate into lower prices but rather more memory for the same price. The entry Air with 64GB of memory is crying out for a boost to 128GB. The iPad is a fine choice for casual use at a lower price poi…

Digitimes reliable? Besides, Apple has never chased the lower end of the laptop market. Once you start, there's no turning back. Competitors can't build laptops similar to the Air line for much cheaper and Apple has no reason to build cheaper lapt…

I think what we'll see is the Nano step up to take the place of the Touch which will itself grow a little larger. I suspect Apple will be less focused on hitting a particular price point and more on a device that makes sense. To me that would be…
