Really, why should Apple make the iPad mini other than what Bloomberg, WSJ and NYT heard? Per conventional wisdom, Cupertino needs to move fast now Google's Nexus 7 is picking up steam (the $249 16GB model is sold out). Some people reckon Apple must launch a smaller iPad in order to keep folks locked inside its ecosystem and away from Google's.
Others reason the shrunken iPad that fits inside women's purses could easily become a new fashion statement (and they're probably right). And we can fairly safe assume that Santa would bring $199 mini iPads to lots of kids this Christmas (naughty ones will get a Kindle Fire).
But as with all consumer electronics, including Apple's shiny gadgets, the case for iPad mini boils down to sales projections, spreadsheets and charts. It just so happens that I've stumbled upon an awesome chart which illustrates unambiguously why the iPad mini is a missing link in Apple's iOS portfolio...

Bad news for folks who were holding out on buying a new TV in anticipation for Apple's set. A new report is out today that claims it could be 2014 before we see a full-blown television from the Cupertino company.
Chatter regarding Apple building its own HDTV has been around for years now. But talk of the set has significantly tapered off over the past couple of months amidst rumors of other upcoming Apple products...
We told you earlier in the week that European wireless carriers were stockpiling Nano SIM cards in the hope that the next iPhone will incorporate the newly ratified technology which enables thinner devices due to a 40 percent smaller footprint versus the Micro SIM standard.
As you know, Apple's Nano SIM proposal was chosen last month by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute as the industry standard, following weeks of bickering between Apple on one side and Nokia, Motorola and Research In Motion on the other.
A new report from this morning has it that Apple is supplying its carrier partners with Nano SIM adapters so they could test Nano SIMs on existing devices before the next iPhone arrives in October...
Rumors that Apple has been looking to trim the size of the dock connector in future iOS products started back in February of this year. It's believed that the company is making the change in an effort to save space inside of its devices.
