The iPad mini is the once unbelievable rumor we may soon have to start believing:
Apple has plans for the so-called iPad Mini and it may be only a matter of getting production up and running, according to NPD DisplaySearch.
“For the 7.85-inch panel, there’s a business plan for it, there’s a mass production target for it. And we know that it’s for Apple,” Richard Shim, an NPD DisplaySearch analyst, told CNET.
“I don’t know the name of the product, but I know it’s going to be a tablet,” he said.
NPD DisplaySearch talks to companies in the “supply chain” — firms that make the components and assemble products. And Shim said production is likely imminent.
“Everything is getting set up. We know the lines. We know how many panels are going to come out of the sheets of glass.”

The ratio of PCs sold to Macs sold has steadily been dropping and is now at 1985 levels, not too long after the first Mac debuted.
Creating a chart that reveals the ratio of PC to Mac sales since 1984, Asymco analyst Horace Dediu was able to track the rise and fall of that ratio over more than 25 years. The ratio was about 20 to 1 in 1985 following the 1984 launch of the first Mac.
From there, the ratio went through some ups and downs for a good 10 years until around 1996, when it moved up to 15 to 1 and then started to rise every year.PCs continued to enjoy a huge and growing demand over Macs through the next several years as the ratio hit a high of around 55 to 1 in 2004.
But then the gap started to narrow. From a ratio of less than 45 to one in 2005, the gap continued to drop each year until reaching a low of around 20 to 1 last year, as narrow as it was in 1985.
