Two New Devices to be Release at Apple Media Event ? With Apple iPad 3 Pre-Orders & Rumors Of Shipments Already on way To U.S



Some new tidbits are coming our way as the days until Apple’s next major announcement dwindle down. The first item of note is a purported shipping document for iPad 3 units. The document appeared on Twitter-like website Sina Weibo, and it is highlighted by Apple.pro. The origin seems to be in the WeiPhone forums. According to the image’s poster, the shipping document (shown below) details shipments beginning Feb. 26 from Foxconn to the United States. A machine translation from Weibo and WeiPhone forum posts (respectively):

Apple iPad Mini for US$299, would 'crush' tablet rivals, as per reports


Apple could price an 8-in. iPad as low as US$299, an analyst said today, as part of a strategy to "crush the opposition."


Rumors of a smaller iPad resurfaced earlier this week after the Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed sources, reported that Apple was contemplating a tablet with an 8-inch display.


Then, several experts expressed scepticism that Apple would introduce a tablet with a screen smaller than the current 9.7-inch size of the current iPad.


Rhoda Alexander, senior manager of tablet and monitor research at IHS iSuppli, disagrees. "Based on our sources, we're very solid [in our belief] that Apple will release a smaller iPad that uses a 7.85-inch display, essentially an 8-inch screen, this year," said Alexander.


iSuppli's projection for a release: The fourth quarter of 2012.


With savings from downsizing the display and associated touchscreen, and perhaps reducing the storage memory to a default 8GB, Apple could price what Alexander's dubbed the "iPad Mini" -- perhaps a sop to the Mac Mini name that Apple uses for its petite desktop Mac -- as low as US$299, although $349 would be another option.


"Apple doesn't need to compete with the $200 price point," Alexander argued, referring to the price tag of Amazon's Kindle Fire, a 7-inch device the e-tailer started selling last November.


Adding a smaller iPad would let Apple address several issues, said Alexander.
