Apple's 7-inch tablet will be named iPad mini, says report
Apple's much-rumored iPad mini will in fact be called the iPad mini.
At least, that's the latest scuttlebut from Macotakara. Citing info from an "Asian source," the Apple blog site said that the 7.85-inch tablet is expected to sport the familiar iPad logo on the back.
If true, this means that news reports and blogs speculating about the tiny tablet actually got the name right. Apple sometimes surprises its audience with its choice of names. Those of us expecting an iPad 3 earlier this year were treated simply to the iPad or the new iPad, perhaps not the ideal name but certainly unexpected. The purported iPad mini will pop up in October, according to a report in AllThingsD. Citing several unnamed sources, ATD's John Paczkowski said that Apple will hold two separate product launches for its newest devices.
