Then who is copying? Christ it’s so frigging obvious!!! Of course it will be 2017 until it hits the streets. Right after FCP works again on a new 17″ MBP, paper thin with crappy battery, since the Mac Pro will still be a wish list item.

And it would be so easy to make it a phone. It is so obvious big screens sell. Why? They are needed. Everything happens on your phone now. A bigger screen. That is all people want.

Apple *IS* in front of the evolution. The iPad mini is a response to the low cost 7″ devices out there. I personally don’t think Jobs would have gone there, much like they never chose to enter the low end netbook market.

It’s already been established that Jobs was beginning to reconsider a mini iPad before he died. Moreover, his death occurred at the very start of the tablet industry- were he still alive he would see how much it’s already changing as it matures. By the end of the decade it’ll be completely different, and Jobs would have been in front of the evolution, not behind it.

Examples:

Perhaps the most notorious one was video on the iPod. His position was the iPod wasa music device, the screen was too small for video. So time later, lo and behold, he launched the iPod video. And he himself praised it.

The phone was another one. He said he didn’t get into the phone business because of the carrier’s control, and Apple wasn’t interested in that business. Some years later, the iPhone changed the way the phone works.

The other one was the tablet. He saw no future on tablet computing. About 5 years after bashing tablets -not sure about the timing- he launched the iPad and changed the way we do computing.

So, it’s not that Steve Jobs was agains determined technology. He was against doing it wrong. Once he found a way to do it right, he was all for it. I’d say that will be the case with the iPad Mini. If done right, it will be a slam dunk. And a product worth of Steve’s praise.

So, let’s no be so blind to assure that it won’t happen because Steve said so. I has not happened so far because the way it is right now was not at Steve’s expectation levels.

So if in fact there is no mini, Apple will have completely lost it on the PR front.

Never got the raging hardon analysts have in predicting this. All I can think is since Apple made a mini iPod, and a mini Mac, that it is only a matter of time before they make a mini iPad.

Apparently, Apples R&D don’t know what they are doing, and iPads must shrink to 6″ while iPhones simply must grow to 6″…. There’s something psychological at work.

When are you going to update your shitty, broken app? Just about everything is broken on it, from sloppy rotation to left column redraw fail to the continuous rotating thingy that sez you’re always connected to the server or whatever. You’ve had plenty of time to fix it. Get off your fat asses and get to work.
Thank you.
