I would have voted yes to the question:
Do I believe it is coming and would I be interested if it has a 3G option and is substantially cheaper than the current iPad? |

No Thanks!
I think they better make one - otherwise continue to lose out on a growing market for 7-inchers.
I won't be getting one though; we're really happy with our current non-Apple 7-inchers and have an aversion to Apple's walled-garden approach in general. (Their new connectors for the iPhone 5, obsoleting existing ones, didn't gain them any credibility in this regard!) |

Even with an adapter many of the existing docks won't work well as the adapter will make the iDevice ride up higher than designed. Most electronics companies have finally gone over to using the micro-USB, I wish Apple would do the same.

Of course, and it works, so why shouldn't they do it? But if you are tired of reading about it, just stop?

First they dumped Google Maps - with the ensuing fowl-up, and now this, sheesh! Will their millions of customers stick with them, or will some say "enough" already! What's that story about killing the Goose that laid the Golden Egg! |

Yes, I do believe there is one coming. Apple has officially announced an event for next week with the tag line "We've got a little more to show you" and I'd say that is a clear indicator for an iPad Mini.
They also see that there is a market for a 7" (ok, it'll be nearly 8") iPad. They see eReaders from B&N, Amazon, Kobo, Google and others are doing well, or will have better products in that range shortly. They want a slice, a very big slice of that pie, and being brutal, I think they'll get it and dominate the 7" market in the same way they do the current tablet market. |

Familiarity and the fact you can't get get other brands of machines to even run Apple OSs (without a bit tomfoolery) is another. Though, personally, I like the hardware, too. |

And not only that Apple have been at the forefront (arguably until recently?) of innovation (iphone, ipads etc) but I agree, they are not cheap |
