Rumours: iPad Mini and iPhone 5 coming soon?
The rumor train has officially started with iLounge.com posting up some sweet details on the latest tech from Apple.
iLounge themselves have stated to take the following information with a grain of salt (sources’ accuracy level is very high but not perfect as they state). Down below is some of the juicy details summarized by CNET.
- Apple is set to release three new iPods, including an new iPod Nano, iPod Touch, and a possible replacement for the beleaguered iPod Shuffle that would incorporate a small 1.7-inch touch screen. The source didn’t have anything to offer on whether the new iPod Touch will have a built-in camera, but that seems to be the main question of the hour on the Touch front.
- Once again, rumors of a smaller iPad with a 7-inch screen are surfacing. iLounge’s source claims the smaller iPad is “substantially finished and will be ready for announcement either later this year or early in 2011. Apple has been prototyping devices with screens of this size for a long time–quite possibly predating the original iPhone.” We always liked the idea of a smaller, cheaper iPad that’s more pocket friendly, so we hope this is true. But we’re wondering if Apple will do anything this year that might slacken the demand on the current iPad, which continues to sell very well.
- Due to the antenna issues, Apple may be coming out with a fifth-generation iPhone sooner than many would have anticipated (early 2011). iLounge, like us, is discounting this rumor simply because the iPhone 4 remains in high demand despite all the negative publicity. Of course, while we’re spreading rumors, one might postulate that the next-generation iPhone the source mentioned is really the rumored Verizon iPhone. (You see how easy it is to perpetuate rumors).
- The last rumor isn’t all that sexy but probably has the most truth to it; it involves Apple allegedly developing less expensive all-silicone Bumper cases to distribute to consumers as part of its iPhone 4 Case Program.

If you have a iPod Touch, I think having the iPad would be very similar?, dont they say its like its like a iPhone/iTouch but bigger and better.
I suggest no

Agree with you mo, The iPad was such a rip off, and now they realised that it was too big, so its another chance to rip off the people with the same idea but smaller.
