Apple rumored to counter Kindle Fire with cheaper iPad mini in 2012

Apple is rumored to be exploring a new low-cost iPad for release in 2012 for countering Amazon Kindle Fire which only for $199.

“‘iPad mini’ is expected to arrive in the first few months of 2012, allowing Apple to tap into a “more price sensitive consumer segment,” and also fend off the Amazon Kindle Fire, the retailer’s first entrance into the touchscreen tablet market.”
-Analyst Brian White

Review of iPad mini
The “mini” name may not refer to the size of the device, but a lower entry-level price. Someone believes that this lower priced iPad could be priced in the mid-to-high-$200 range. Surely, everyone expects this will be followed by a much more powerful, feature rich standard-priced iPad 3 in the second quarter of 2012.

iPad mini vs Amazon Kindle Fire
The Amazon Kindle Fire sports a screen size of 7 inches, If Apple does launch a 7-inch iPad, the lower-end tablet would compete directly with two popular, similarly-priced color slates: the Kindle Fire and Barnes & Noble’s $250 Nook Color.

The new Kindle Fire, Amazon’s $200 color slate that’s already selling well. The current iPad 2 starts at $500 but offers more goodies than the Kindle Fire, including a larger 9.7-inch display (vs. the Fire’s 7-inch), front and rear cameras (the Fire lacks a camera), and a mega-selection of apps.
