Steve Jobs though a 7" tablet was not a valid market, he may have been proved wrong with interest growing in devices like Kindle Fire or the more succesful Google Nexus 7.
With Steve Jobs out of the way, Apple 'may' be thinking about a 7.8" ipad, after the ipad2 the next iteration was dubbed 'the new ipad' so the ipad3 or the ipad mini as many websites call it affectionately, was still coming.
There are many a bytes on the internet rife with expectations of a 7.8 inch device from Apple, infact there are some sites that also show 'leaked' photos of the alleged device Apple is readying for an assault on the nexus 7, what comes from Apple still requires to be seen.
Up until now Apple was the game changer, to be honest it is still in most areas they are active, but the 7.8 inch device has been in rumour since a very long time, and more importantly the Apple website does not say anything about it.
What requires to be seen is will Apple be able to match the price point on which Nexus 7 was introduced, Kindle Fire will have its new version the Kindle Fire 2 soon and the competition seems hotting up - lets see if Apple does intend to jump into the ring - how the fight progresses.
There is a difference in form factor, a 7" device is smaller as compared to a 7.8" and not too big, there is definetely better content for ipad around than android at the moment, with apps specifically for ipad in the apple store - which the google play is lacking at the moment.
All in all this is a good time to be around with the mini tablet war hotting up...
