Why Apple Should Launch a Smaller iPad

Rumors that Apple has been developing a smaller iPad — which many have been referring to as the iPad mini — for almost as long as the iPad has been around. 

Late last week, Ciccarese Design published images of its own iPad mini mockups and its take on the device is unarguably beautiful. But while sources have indicated that Apple has developed a prototype iPad mini, many believe that it will never actually see the light of day.
