It seems as if Apple is also preparing to counter the Android tablet competition by losing some “inches”. It is a fact that most of the Android touch tablets that have gone public so far are generally geared with a 7 Inch LCD and according to IDG News, this LCD screen size will be adapted for the iPad 2/iPad Mini speculated to surface in December this year.
Here is what the Economic Time article exactly said that was translated by IDG News as a 7 Inch iPad 2 or iPad Mini.
“The Economic Daily reports that Taiwanese companies have won a number of component contracts for the iPad 2. Chimei Innolux will supply 7-inch LCD screens, which use the same IPS (in-plane switching) technology found in the original iPad, which improves viewing angles and color on LCD screens. Touchscreen technology for the screens will come from Cando Corporation, the report says.”
The rumored estimated time of release of this 7” iPad is kept near the holiday season, Christmas of course. Do let us know what you think about the 7 Inch iPad and how it can compete with same sized Android tablets such as Dell Streak etc.
