iPad Mini tablet, which we already talked about this morning, will be launched in October by the Apple company. The information comes from those from Bloomberg who of course took it from sources close to the Cupertino company. Those from Bloomberg claim that they have corroborated with 4 separate sources the information regarding the launch of the tablet, and it is consistent with the one presented by All Things Digital exactly a week ago.
Apple Inc. (AAPL) will use screens from AU Optronics Corp. (2409) and LG Display Co. (034220) for a smaller version of the iPad to be released in October, according to four people familiar with the plans.
TPK Holding Co. (3673) and Yeh Cheng Technology, a subsidiary of Foxconn Technology Group, will supply the lamination coating for the device that will measure 7.85 inches diagonally, said the people, who declined to be identified because the plans haven't been made public. Current iPads measure 9.7 inches.
According to information recently published in various publications, the iPad Mini tablet will be presented in a conference that will take place in October, and the launch in stores will take place in the same month. The tablet could have similar or even identical hardware to that of the iPad 2012, so theoretically the implementation of a Retina Display or a new, high-performance processor could be excluded.
