The figures making the rounds are $249 to $299 for the entry level, which would be a higher price point than the competition while, if the leaks are correct, offering a lower resolution screen.

Oh I expect it to be higher than the competition; Honestly I don't think Apple cares all that much about their competitors' pricing. But I mean with retina we could be looking at a $349+ price tag.

Typical for Apple. Give you less and charge you more.

As I recall that was Sony's MO a couple decades back. It's just something you can get away with when you're top dog in the market.

Pretty interested to see this. I've avoided the iPad because I think it's too big for me to find it practical, but I've not really been that impressed with my Kindle Fire in the year I've had it. a smaller iPad may be the thing.

Steve Jobs was famously against a smaller iPad even saying at one point:

Quote:
While one could increase the resolution of the display to make up for some of the difference, it is meaningless unless your tablet also includes sandpaper so that the user can sand down their fingers to around one-quarter of their present size.
I wonder where Tim Cook decided to put the sandpaper

Well I do have an Acer A500 and live with the ppi which I am pretty sure is the same BUT the problem is its size and weight.

I cannot say I do not the Apple ecosystem because I haven't tried anything to explore it. I entertained the touch 4 to try it out but decided against it. I personally am not thrilled with the touch 5 for the price. So it is the mini or nothing to try their ecosystem.

Maybe they decided that long pointed fingernails were the answer.

To be fair the rumored 7.85" display makes the touch targets exactly the same size as they are on the iPhone. At least when developers follow Apple's interface guidelines.

Care to elaborate? I would expect the touch targets to be larger on a larger display device.
