There are so many new apple devices and streams of products coming out now-a days, it can be hard to keep up, especially with the variants of varying proportions. But the new iPad “Mini” expected to be launched in a number of weeks throws a curve ball into the game, is it a phone? Is it a tablet? The screen is only 7.85 inches this in relation to the 9.7 inch iPad 3 is a good size reduction, this is also a good correlation to the 4 inch iPhone 5 screen.

The iPad 3 topped 3 million sales within 3 days, now this is common knowledge, and that is because Apple has become such a huge corporation anything they produce is sucked up like gold dust, the kindle is currently renowned as a method of reading books and will [possibly] always be known for their books, the kindle has a huge price advantage, but it will not [I believe] be seems as a common place item such is the iPad, something to be used all of the time, many tablets on the market today have the equivalent or improved specifications of the iPad, but the problem is they don’t have the market, something which the iPad does and explains why Apple has 10million iPad Mini’s on order from suppliers, roughly twice that of the Kindle.

So is there a gap in the market for the new ipad? Personally I don’t think so, if you need something to use in the workplace, or around that home you can usually have room to use the new iPad 3 (Released 7 March 2012) and if you don’t want to lug around an iPad then you can get an iPhone 5 all which have similar uses, the only apparent benefit to the iPad Mini being that it is thinner (and presumably lighter) more to the style of the iPod Touch genre. But the device being lighter and thinner is surely something which will be improved on with the release of the iPad 4, unless the iPad Mini becomes the replacement, never the less I am sure there will be a stream of people queuing on release night and another Apple product will become a great hit.
