John Gruber: Apple Has a 7.85-inch iPad in its Labs

This is a discussion thread for the "John Gruber: Apple Has a 7.85-inch iPad in its Labs" story posted on the front page.

And Tim Cook has an Ivy Bridge, 128 GB RAM, 1024 GB SSD Macbook Air. What else is new?

You never know

Yeah at one point they also had touch screen macs, but they never released them because Steve Jobs said they didn't work well.

I think I would buy a 7-8" iPad....if there was a vast price difference between it an the iPad 2 (which goes for $400 now). I could see why Apple would do this to help fight the lower cost tablets, but do they honestly need to? People still buy iPads regardless.

Jobs is gone, he has no power over the company now and people have stopped asking "what would he do" because that time is over.

if you want to know what the iPad 7 incher will look like, just look at the TouchPad Go that was manufactured in small quantities but never released...the touchpad Go is also 1024x768. here's a nice little review to get an idea of what this iPad might be like to hold in your hands. pixel wise, it looks good in the pics

I think people would much rather have a new iPod touch

Where's the price-point for something like this? iPod Touch 4th gen 64GB is the same as an iPad 2 16GB, they need more wiggleroom for pricing unless we want $50 apart options. I guess they could just throw it in there, or just lower the price of the touches.

They probably have Unicorn-batteries, too. What's his point?
