Whatever the case, the production reports and leaked photos all point to this being an iPad Mini event.It really does not matter if the iPad mini is more successful than the original iPad because if its just a smaller iPad it will of course sell because it has the Apple brand which makes it a desirable fashion accessory but Apple can’t rely on that forever and there is some real competition out there now.
Apple for the first time have met with real competition in the form of the Kindle Fire and now Microsoft have come out with the new surface if which there is a large & small version and that has the potential to be the iPad killer the industry has been waiting for because they have finally blended the laptop & tablet by adding a USB port and their screen cover which is the same style as the iPad magnetic screen cover only its a proper Bluetooth keyboard so you have the option of the onscreen keyboard or a remove-able external keyboard which many people want.
The Surface also comes with Office and the iPad has no word processing abilities. iPad might appeal to the ordinary man on the street because it has the Apple brand but businessmen who don’t care about designer just what machine will do the job best might start choosing the Surface.
The iPad mini & full size iPad 4 need to be total redesigns with features like its Pages word processing suit, a external keyboard of some kind, a significant memory boost the memory in the iPad 3 is the same as what it was with the original so if Apple don’t want to give an SD memory expansion option which most tablets now have then it need to offer a significant memory boost as standard and maybe its time for Apple to start considering things like USB to finally make the iPad much more of a machine in its own right rather than an accessory to computer.
Apple are just not being inventive enough and the iPad 1 really was the lat thing they came up with which had any kind of wow factor.
