Apple iPad Mini is leaked by Samsung document

Steve Jobs once famously stated that 7in tablets would be “dead on arrival” – but that hasn’t stopped rumours of a 7.85in iPad being thrown around.

Now thanks to page nine of a Samsung document obtained by OLED Display, it would appear that Apple has been working on a “7-inch product temporarily referred to as the iPad mini,” due for release in the third quarter of this year.

Could Apple unveil an Amazon Kindle Fire-killing tablet alongside the iPad 3 this Wednesday? Quite possibly, but as with all iPad rumours we’re taking this with a crateload of salt for the time being.

For all the latest iPad 3 rumours check out our Apple iPad 3 rumour round up.
