Um didn't we go through this already.. but in reverse?

A smaller iPad is called an iPhone/iTouch.
A lager iPhone/iTouch is called an iPad.

Wow they're creative over there at Apple.

Their first mistake was releasing the iPhone 4G JUST after the release of the iPad, rendering it worthless,then to realise the 4G is riddled with faults, rendering that almost useless. Now they're failing at covering it all up by releasing even more useless products to the market, before they focus on clearing up their iPhone Dilemma. I think Jobs is holding Apple wrong...

when i read the title I thought, "wait, i already have a smaller iPad...it's called an iPod Touch"

iphone: for big egos
ipad: for bigger egos
smaller ipad: something in between?

Or... they could just release a larger iPod Touch... the iPod Maxi!

*larger

 

[willgart]

This new device will be called
iMiddle
and for sure, you cant take it in your hands, else the device stop working. its only for your private collections...

I honestly think the ipad's size is just right. What they need to figure out is how to make it lighter.

Will it have a user-replaceable battery? USB port? No? PASS.

No you got it all wrong. You see, apple has renamed the ipod Touch to the the iPad-mini.

Now seriously, I agree that apple has done some strange things in marketing and naming.

 

[CircusMusic]

I laughed hard when someone said "coming soon iPad mini" in reference to the iTouch... Now I'm on the verge of tears that there may have been truth in that joke..

The question at the end is pretty dumb. It's like you didn't read your own article. For e-books. The touch is way to small for extended e-book reading.

So... replacing the ipod touch by a larger 5.6 and the smaller we saw a few weeks ago?
Seems like a bad idea no to have a 3.5 inch ipod touch.

 

[Computerrock1]

Ok, what's the difference between this and the touch, besides size and price.

1. Rename iPod Touch to iTouch (also voiding any replacement warrenties).
2. Name the 7in. version iPad Mini and the 5.6in. version iTouch XL.
3. ?????
4. Profit off fanboys.

The Maxipad. Super absorbent too.

Don't forget lack of widescreen resolutions...

Will the smaller version of the iPad come with its own applicator?
