Apple might release a pocket-friendly, smaller ipad.
In October 2010, Steve Jobs had famously quashed all rumours of a 7-inch tablet as the size isn't suitable for iPad applications. With Jobs gone, Apple insiders might be mulling about a budget tablet to tap a different section of consumers. Right now, the 9.7-inch new iPad, along with the original iPad and iPad 2, comes with a hefty price tag.
Though it is improbable that Apple will come out with a small iPad, if it happens it will surely be portable enough to be carried in the pocket and used with one hand - a problem many iPad users complain about.
