Apple has announced on Tuesday that it is planning to launch iPad having 5.6 inch [ 14 cm ] and 7 inch [ 18 cm ] screens for its second generation devices. But these iPads will be more useful for eBooks instead of multimedia.
According to the new reports, Apple has given new orders of iPad to Taiwan-based component makers for this year’s fourth quarter. These models of iPads include 5.6 inch, 7 inch and 9.7 inch screen. The 9.7 inch iPad has no camera and only little changes are done on the device.
This move by Apple is being compared to the original iPod which was launch to cut the competition by keeping its size smaller and its prices less expensive. Such devices were in demand from wider market due mainly to the lower prices and it served to enlarge the market share of the company. But reports are that Apple is unlikely to switch to OLED panels in smaller iPads as the penal supplier Samsung is unable to supply due to shortage.
