The Hunt For A New Red Apple iPad In October

    California has not been one of Apple's most popular venues for product launches, but October 23, 2012, Apple will launch  a new smaller tablet than the 9.7 inch iPad.  The new smaller tablet is expected to feature a display that is between 7 inches and 8 inches.  The new smaller tablet will directly compete with Amazon's Kindle Fire HD, that only launched a year ago and already has 20% of the U.S. tablet market.  See also, www.nytimes.com.
