Chinese Site Claims Apple Finished Design of 7-inch iPad

Last month, we saw some rumors about a 7-inch iPad or know as "Mini-iPad" then a second generation iPad with FaceTime in the first quarter of 2011. Today, a Chinese site claims that design of Apple's 7-inch iPad is 'finished' and is said to be more like iPhone 4.

Yes there will be a 7” tablet, yes it’s well underway in terms of product development and in fact it’s a finished product. Yes 5 plus different designs have been floating around to help Apple protect itself from people discovering its next product look and feel but... the final design will in fact bear more resemblance to the iPhone 4 stylings than the original iPad design.

This second generation mini iPad should be from 700 gram to 500 gram. The final design seems to reflect the look of the iPhone 4, rather than the iPad, and it is likely to include front and rear video camera. So, what do you think? [via AppleInsider]

Apple Plans to Offer a 7-inch iPad, "Mini iPad"

According to DigiTimes, Apple could be planning to offer a new, smaller iPad with a screen size of 7 inches. Reports say that Samsung plans to unveil its new tablet PC with Android 2.2 operating system in September but Samsung skipped the 10-inc model and decided to make a 7-inch tablet PC to compete the new mini iPad.

Since Samsung skipped the 10-inch panel format and jumped directly to 7-inch panel, the sources believe the company is actually aiming at Apple's upcoming 7-inch iPad for competition and not the current model

Also, according to reports from UDN (Google Translated), There will be a new 6 to 7 inch mini iPad. According to reports, Apple should unviel this smaller-size iPad as soon as the first quarter of 2011.
