The iPad Is Shrinking
If you thought the iPad was too big now, you may be surprised to hear a smaller version may become available in the near future, reports InformationWeek.
This new device, or iPad Mini if you will, would boast a screen with similar resolution to the current iPad 2. The iPad 2′s 9.7-inch display has 1024 x 786 pixels, giving a pixels-per-inch (ppi) rating of 132. Packing the same number of pixels in a smaller screen would boost the ppi value and give the iPad Mini a really nice display with 160 ppi. It’s still no retina display, but pixels that are packed more tightly together will make for a better experience.
(By way of comparison, the iPad 3, which is said to offer a 2048 x 1536 pixel display, will have a ppi of 264.)
Of course, a smaller iPad would probably not make Apple founder Steve Jobs happy. Just 16 months ago, Jobs bemoaned the idea of tablets with displays smaller than 10 inches.
Can you see a use for a smaller iPad?

Well it seems somewhat practical to have smaller size Ipad. But however if it gets too small you might as well just use your smart phone for everything, due to the fact it can just about do all the Ipad can do plus be a phone. I am not trying to be smart or cutting, but not only would i make several changes in the exterior design of their Ipod, IPhone including the Ipad, but also complete changes to circuitry”due to circuits lack of efficiency”design. Now dont get me wrong they are wonderful products but however, just as advanced in tech as Samsung, Blackberry or Microsoft’s Windows phone. Now i hear Windows phone is apparently suppose to be faster,now i cant say for sure but i wonder if it is due to having more systems“apps”running at once, would that result in less battery run time and more wear? So really it all sums up to who has the best sales pitch, because there all pretty much identical in looks and functional properties. I would not be a bit surprised if all brands were made at the same factory. So what this really boils down to is that everyones design engineers went to the same school, took the same classes, resulting in the same thinking abilities. best regards, FREELANCE ENGINEER…
