Name calling is childish. It’s not complicated.

“Apple’s choice of the word ‘little’ in the invitation practically screams smaller iPad,”

No. Apple used the phrase “a little more”. In Jony’s native tongue (i.e. English English, a different language from American English) this is the equivalent of “one more thing”.

If you believe this (no reason why you should – it’s just my opinion), then you might think that, based on SJ’s track record, there might be something new being announced.

That would be nice.

Doesn’t necessarily help me though, I just want a smaller, bigger, better mac mini (ie a little more than the one I have now).

(Not going to mention a little more processor, a little more memory, a little more graphics, a little more (more little) connectivity, a little more colour choice, a little more hardware range. Now. Pick your device/product line to which that might apply).

Now. A little more debate…?

Well, as usual we never know everything about anything. But the synchronicity I experience has been the single most positive source of growth in my life. No faith required.

I noticed something when I “decoded” the invite -

Aren’t the colors in the background the same colors of the new iPod nanos? Any chance they might offer the same colors on the iPad mini?

I’ve stopped using the AppStore since they forced me to fill out those dumb questions. Best part is they’re not even multilingual. Tough luck if you happen to work overseas.

Yeah! Screw apple and their high-quality devices and successful product line! iPhone sold millions on launch? Wow, it must be really tired. iPod is dead? My iPods working just fine, thank you. And finally, Windows 8 is a pitiful attempt at “reimagining” things. And they already stole the idea of reimagining from Apple.

If Apple is giving up on computers, then all of the other computer companies will have no one to steal ideas from! Folks, this could be the 2012 that the Mayans predicted

Yes! and every supermodel in the world will want to sleep with that dreamboat, Steven “SexyBear” Balmer! Windows 8 will make Apple collapse like a house of cards! I’m so ashamed of my iPhone 5, i’m gonna put it in the drawer next to my Newton. Geeffrey69, you are sooo right! may I please wash your car?!

Apple should just hang it up. On the 26th Windows tablets are coming out, and with that the other 98 percent will now have something real to use with Slate. Everyone knows the iPod is dead and iPhone tired, and Windows 8 is set to end the short lived reign of Apple.

You call him childish, and then in the very next breath you say “Nobama” ?

I think if it is an iPad Mini, the assumption of white and black versions will be wrong. The splashes of various colors on the invite hint at multiple colored devices – just like the iPod Touch and Nano.

By: Jimmy

I call it the iPad nano. U heard it here

By: Michael K.

Michael K. — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 05:26:08 +0000

That is a good one. I personally like the iPad Touch since it will be just a little bigger than the ipod touch, but no matter what they call it people will buy it around the world by the millions

It’s obvious you haven’t upgraded your computer “for several years”, that or you just bought a brand new Dell.

Quite the contrary, Apple is clearly driving the agenda in the PC market. The OS continues to gain ground while being aligned to iOS, Macs are back and dominating in the .edu market, the MB Air is a quantum leap in mobility and practical performance from pre-flash machines. “Toy” is inconsistent with most university and research organizations relying on Macs for doing the serious stuff.

By: IslandLife

I’m calling it:

Little iPad = Lill’ iPad = LillyPad

It’ll be called the LillyPad or LilliPad

Matsushita manufactured mostof Japan’s consumer electronics devices that many other companies put their name on…Samsung doesn’t hold a candle to them.

Give it up. Apple has given up on computers. Just look at the steady decline of the OS, the lack of anything interesting in the computer line for years. Computers are too hard for Apple. They would rather be a toy company.

Your attempt to bring religion and politics into a freaking tech media event announcement is both idiotic and puerile.
If you recall Nobama was the one who was going to do the ‘saving’. Look how that turned out.
I’d bet cash money you think UFOs are real, the Venus Project is viable and the moon landings were faked.

Small, as in iPad mini, Mac Mini, 13 inch Macbook. These are all the smaller brothers of the others.

I’m in ‘need of a new 27inch iMac, which is rumourd to come out after the smaller 21 incher. My Holy Trinity needs updating. The Creator, iMac (as I create content on it and it holds all my stuff), The Son, iPad, (giver of information, teacher), and the Holy Spirit, iPhone, always with me empowering my to do.

Actually, on the existence of God, you have no proof.

Otherwise, there would be no need for faith.

Empirical evidence does not exist.

I would say an ipad mini is pretty much guaranteed.

By: Lynnw

Media reports iPad mini will be released on the first of Nov. I interpreted the colors perhaps with Autumn/ Winter (release of other products as well) I have a feeling there are going to be a few very pleasant surprises for us and that its going to be a very expensive end of year holiday shopping saga. One of each whatever is released we’ll buy for sure! Yikes!

I just read today that Panasonic want to exit the TV business. But they plan on working with Apple on LCD screens.

Sanity breaks in:
Why WOULDN’T anyone doubt the introduction of the iPad ‘Mini’?! There is ZERO verifiable evidence of Apple introducing one. I personally believe in something-or-other I call ‘god’ because I HAVE verifiable evidence. Consider me both utilitarian and empirical. (Look them up please).

If the vacuumware iPad ‘Mini’ turns out to be true, then kewl! But I am sick of stupid rumors told by stupid people to stupid people who then write stupid posts calling non-believers stupid. That is the summary of what’s been going on. Be ashamed of yourself, then STFU until there is actual, verifiable factual information upon which to base an useful opinion.

IOW: Be empirical. Be utilitarian. Be sane. It helps a lot in life, IMHO. BlahBlahBlah is worthless.

Amen to all that. Panasonic is a very good company. Love my Panasonic Plasma.

From the undercurrent buzz I’m hearing, there is a strategic partnership going on with Panasonic (formerly Matsushita) and Apple. That could be a VERY good thing. Panasonic has consistently been an impressive company, despite their recent financial troubles. I want to see what they can do together. Sure beats working with those crybaby dickheads Samsung.

I was just thinking iWatch with wristband… Bluetooth to your phone and it pops up appointments and streams SIRI without touching your phone or iPad.

I find it difficult to believe after all the evidence that there are some that still doubt the introduction of the iPad mini….but I bet most of them believe in a Supreme being based on much less evidence…. And the belief in a spirit in the sky also seems a more difficult concept to swallow that a smaller iPad…but then again some people actually believe Romney will “save” us… America is a land of contradictions… Of that there is no doubt. But I love my country and it’s people !!!!
