PCWorld: New, Smaller 'iPad 2' by Christmas 2010
PC World is reporting today that a second Taiwanese source has confirmed the existence of a 7-inch iPad under production or due to begin production in Taiwan. PC World sites Taiwan's Chinese-language Economic Daily News financial newspaper as the source of the report and notes that the Economic Daily News is regarded as one of the first sources to confirm the existence of the iPad, while other outlets were reporting that Apple was instead developing a netbook.
The report by the Economic Daily News of Taiwan, like earlier reports of a 7-inch 'iPad 2' from Taiwanese newspaper Digitimes, is based on information coming out of suppliers and manufacturers in Taiwan that have supposedly won contracts from Apple to produce the second generation iPad.
Chimei Innolux will supply 7-inch LCD screens, while Cando Corporation is expected to supply the touchscreen technology related components for the new iPad. Compal Electronics, one of the world's foremost laptop computer makers, is slated to handle assembly.
There is, of course, no world on an exact release date but the report indicates that availability is expected by this year's holiday shopping season. The report also doesn't offer up any indication as to whether the new, second-generation iPad will offer the new retina display found in Apple's iPhone 4.

I'm eager to hear what the weight will be of this smaller iPad. That's the one thing I dislike the most about my iPad, it is too heavy.

I agree. I don't like the picture of the people either. It just looks very generic, nothing really to do with the iPad.

No problem can be fixed before a solution is formed. No solution can be formed until the underlying problems are clearly identified. The officials at Apple in charge of fixing the iPhone have not articulated the underlying problems. Worse, many of these officials - directly or indirectly - created or contributed the underlying problems. It is shear lunacy to expect that the people at Apple who screwed up the iPad have any chance at fixing what they destroyed.

As early as now, I can already feel the spirit of Christmas. Last night, out neighbors have already lighted their Christmas light, and some are starting to decorate their Christmas trees. The malls are also selling a lot of Christmas items such as Christmas balls, lights, trees of different sizes, wreaths, and the nativity scene which we call “belen” in our native language. Everybody was excited but do we really know what is Christmas all about? Find out the true meaning of Christmas at jr80.com.

Hi,
I am amazed with iPad. But one problem with it is configuration. Configuration of iPad is too poor comparatively laptops available nowadays. 64 GB of hard disk, Ram, processor is too low for me. Rest of is fine.
