Desi Steve Jobs a declarat acum cativa ani ca tabletele cu ecran de de 7 inch nu au viiitor, iata ca Apple ia in calcul posibila dezvoltare a unei tablete cu ecran de 8 inch. Aceasta nu este prima oara cand auzim despre testarea unor prototipuri ale iPad cu ecran mai mic de 9.7 inch insa pana in prezent niciun asemenea produs nu a fost lansat pe piata si situatia ar putea fi identica in acest caz.
Officials at some of Apple’s suppliers, who declined to be named, said the Cupertino, Calif.-based company has shown them screen designs for a new device with a screen size of around 8-inches, and said it is qualifying suppliers for it. Apple’s latest tablet, the iPad 2, comes with a 9.7-inch screen. It was launched late 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.
Informatiile prezentate de cei de la Wall Street Journal vin de la surse din cadrul companiilor partenere ale Apple insa in trecut acelasi lucru s-a intamplat iar Apple nu a lansat in final produsul. Avand in vedere ca se tot testeaza prototipuri ale iPad cu ecran mic, este clar ca in viitor vom avea un asemenea produs disponibil pe piata.
