Is Apple preparing to announce a smaller and more affordable iPad? The iPhone 5 was just recently announced and released immediately afterward and has received mixed reviews at best. Apple has already began to prepare for their next big media event on October 10th. The current belief is that the announcement will be to unveil the iPad Mini.
Current reports seem to suggest that the mini version of the iPad would be more affordable for consumers. I personally have never really felt the need to have an iPad, for whatever reason they have just never really appealed to me. However, when I read the reports for the iPad mini I was very strangely intrigued. I caught myself thinking, "man Austin, you gotta get this!" If the report from Mobile Marketing Watch is correct this iPad could hit shelves as soon as the end of October. This comes at an interesting time for Apple since they are starting to lose some of their market share in the tablet market to Amazon and Barnes & Noble. I think a new smaller and more affordable product could really help out Apple, hey it got me interested in tablets.
