Apple tests 8-inch iPad

Officials at Apple's suppliers, who requested anonymity, said the tech giant has shown them screen designs for a new device with a screen size of around eight inches.

Another unnamed source in the report claims that the new 8-inch device will have a screen with a resolution close to the 1024 x 768 display on the current model. This ties in with rumours about the iPad 3 toting a Retina Display - unless the smaller unit is aimed at budget buyers.

Pundits are now wondering if this new 8-inch model will be unveiled as the iPad 3 on March 7. The 8 inch tablet reportedly, will have upgraded hardware specs and some killer apps set to compete with Android or Window based tablets.
