The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple is now working with suppliers on an 9-inch iPad on the diagonal. It is down from 9.7-inch display of the current iPad but is larger than Kindle Fire, which is 7-inch
Officials at some of Apple's suppliers, who declined to be named, said the Cupertino, Calif., company has shown them screen designs for a new device with a screen size of around eight inches and said the company is qualifying suppliers for it. Apple's latest tablet, the iPad 2, comes with a 9.7-inch screen. It was launched last year.
One person said the smaller device will have a similar-resolution screen as the iPad 2. Apple is working with screen makers including Taiwan-based AU Optronics Co. and LG Display Co. of South Korea to supply the test panels, the person said.

The anticipated Clear to-do list application for the iPhone and iPod touch has made its way onto the iTunes App Store worldwide. The app is unlike any other piece of to-do list software as it includes a Multi-Touch optimized interface that functions like no other. For example, to create a new to-do, a user can either pull or pinch their to-do list. Clear’s promotional video above demonstrates the unique interface best. Clear includes the option to create specific lists, like iOS 5′s built-in Reminders application, and also includes some different color themes. The application is downloadable here for $0.99.
The Wall Street has published a report confirming that the iPad 3 will feature 4G LTE networking technology for both AT&T and Verizon customers. Apple's next-generation iPad is expected to be announced on the first week of March [March 7th], and the device is rumored to feature an A6 quad-core processor and retina display.
Verizon Communications Inc. and AT&T Inc. will sell a version of the coming iPad that runs on their newest fourth-generation wireless networks, according to people familiar with the matter, as the battle to cash in on big investments in mobile broadband heats up.
Both companies are banking heavily on LTE to attract new subscribers and to get existing subscribers to upgrade to more lucrative monthly smartphone and tablet contracts. Apple’snew iPad, which will work on those LTE networks, would give the country’s two largest carriers a device that could help drum up demand for the faster service, in the way the originaliPhone dramatically increased demand for 3G wireless data plans.
It has been rumored for a while that the next-generation iPad or an iPad 3 will be announced in the first week of March. I got this news over at 9to5mac. The leaks part include Dock connectors, LCD Panel and Rear Shell.
The back panel hints at a slightly thicker iPad gaining about 1mm that is likely to house new components and a bigger battery.
iPad 2 vs iPad 3: Back camera hole.
This all hints at an upgraded camera lens and sensor on iPad 3 that is hardly a surprise knowing the iPad 2′s iPod touch-grade camera is on the low-end. With iPad 3′s Retina Display being 3-megapixels, upgrading both cameras is a prudent move. Look for 1080p video recording like the iPhone 4S augmented with about 5-megapixel still image resolution. Of course, it is wise not to read too much into the leaks as these parts could easily belong to early prototypes.
The announcement that Jobs would receive a Grammy was made in December but yesterday, The Recording Academy gave out the award. Eddy Cue, Apple's Senior VP of Internet Software and Services, accepted the honor for Jobs, saying:
Accepting this award means so much to me because music meant so much to him. He told us that music shaped his life. It made him who he was. Everyone who knows Steve knows the profound impact that artists like Bob Dylan and the Beatles had on him."
Today I cam across a video from YouTube of a Apple's 2012 products lineup. There are mainly 4 products; iBox, iCam, iWatch, and iPhone SJ. These product concepts are really stunning. Here are come pictures
This is from Redmondpie.com:
Obviously the gadgets shown in the video below are purely fictional and in no way represent any real life products, either existing or in the pipeline but they do show off the designer’s wonderful imagination and design abilities. The first gadget to be showcased is the beautiful and sleek iBox which functions as a set top box with atouch screeninterface. The iBox has a capacitive, seven inch touch screen and is designed to work as your own personal high definition television. Connecting the iBox to your existing TV would allow users to take control using touch gestures and Siri voice commands.
As I am also a photographer, this product is really amazing to me. The iCam functions as a DSLR 4/3 camera with a beautiful aluminum body and also a touch screen.
Next one is the iWatch. These are some amazing features of this concept product:
- Wifi and Bluetooth
- Weather forecast system.
- Connection to iPhone/iPad via Bluetooth or Wifi.
- Frontal Face Camera.
- 32GB of storage.
The last one is the iPhone SJ, which stands for iPhone Steve Jobs. The new iPhone would benefit from a thinner from a factor with reduced weight, made from polycarbonate, aluminum and PK2 Kevlar which house a fully capacitive glass touch display.
You can follow me on Twitter, or like me on Facebook to keep yourself updated on all the latest news from Apple.
I never thought that this would be something I’d ever say, but the device that changed my life celebrates its fifth birthday today. Yes, the retroactively named original, or ’2G’ Phone was first announced by an enthusiastic Steve Jobs during a keynote speech at the Macworld Conference & Expo on January 9th 2007.
