There are lots of rumors about whether the new iPad will be an iPad mini or just a vamped up version of the current size. It seems that the screen technology is definitely going to be even more improved but many simply don’t think that apple would release a new version that is the same size as it is only six months since the release of the first iPad.

If it is a mini iPad, which many claim it will be, and that it will be 7 inches in size then makers of iPad cases are going to be very happy indeed. Cases are bought in large numbers and if there is a small version then you can bet that there will be a wave of case purchases to go along with the new model.

But it is all conjecture at the moment. We hear many stories every day about the fact that in Taiwan there is already parts being made for the new iPad but no one can really seem to say for definite if it is true or simply rumor.

Apple have totally cornered the market in the tablet arena and it seems that if they want to keep their position then it is in their best interests to ensure that they cater for those that would like a different size that may simply be easier to carry about with them. A seven inch screen is certainly going to make the tablet a lot more portable but we will simply have to wait and see.

It does seem that with the price being so high for the standard size at the moment it makes sense to release a smaller version that is going to allow more people to buy and for apple to capture even more of the market then they currently have, so will will see what happens this year.

What next?
