To cope with increasing market competition including the 7-inch Kindle Fire from Amazon and the launch of large-size smartphones from handset vendors, Apple has been persuaded to develop and is likely to launch a 7.85-inch iPad prior to Q4 of 2012 -- in addition to the new iPad scheduled to be released at the end of the first quarter -- according to supply chain sources cited by the Taiwan technology and manufacturing news site DigiTimes.
Global shipments of tablet PCs are expected to reach 60 million units in 2011, of which 70% will be Apple's iPads, notes DigiTimes.
