But is this not a copy of the Samsung 7 inch tablet? I smell something funny here

I really don't see what Apple can do to the iPad to make compete with the Samsung tablet's they are cheaper by a mile, run's Android and can take USB sticks. No need for a iTunes to transfer anything to the tablet. It's time Apple accepts that they have lost the tablet race.

Lol. I have nothing against Android but do you realize how big Apples market share is on tablets?

Information submitted by Samsung indicates that between June 2010 and June 2012, 21.25 million phones were sold in the United States, generating a total revenue of $7.5 billion. The best selling Samsung smartphone is the Galaxy Prevail, a prepaid device available on Boost Mobile, shifting a total of 2.25 million units. Samsung’s range of Galaxy S II devices across all the US carriers sold 4.1 million units combined.

Samsung’s range of Galaxy Tabs didn’t seem to do nearly as well. They sold 1.4 million in total, generating a much lower revenue of $644 million. That contrasts sharply with Apple, with the company selling 34 million iPads in the United States since 2010, generating $19 billion in revenue. The company also managed to shift 85 million iPhones and 46 million iPod touches for a combined revenue of $60.3 billion.

I am going out on a limb here and saying, the reason there were more Ipads sold by so much is probably because they weren't banned for sale? It's quite surprising that they still managed to get 1.4 million sold even though they are banned in the States, because Apple is a little scared of competition.

How did a simple speculative thread about the possibility of a new iPad model turn into another frothfest?

The only thing that turns me off about the Mini is the possibility that it'll have a 1024 screen. I'm so over those.

If such a thing is introduced, it will be aimed at the US education market. Consumers may be able to buy it too, but that will not be the actual intention. IMHO anyway.
