Apple orders 10in iPad, moles claim implausibly
Rounding error?
Agentless Backup is Not a Myth
Taiwanese contract manufacturer Pegatron, which already makes iPhones and iPads, has landed orders for the iPhone 5 and a ten-inch iPad, it has been claimed.
The handset is said to be cued to ship in September, the tablet in Q4, "Taiwan-based supply chain makers" tell Digitimes.
Getting Pegatron to produce iPhone 5s seems likely. As we say, it's already punching out the current model.
But a ten-inch iPad? That's no doubt a reference to the current model, which has a 9.7in screen, but with the final digit rounded up. Apple may be preparing yet another incarnation - actually, there's no doubt about it - but we can't see it shipping in Q4 2012.
Cast your mind back a year ago, and you'll recall all the many rumours forecasting the debut of the iPad 3 in Q4 2011. It didn't happen, and we can't see it happening this year, the arrival of a 7.85in 'iPad Mini' or no. ®

So, order of favour, that'd be:
Apple, who make Macs;
Raspberry, who make Pi;
Blackberry, who make lemons
Repeat after me
Nobody cares about a slightly different sized iPad/iPhone/iWTF that might or might not be launched at some time in the future.
Is the entire IT journalism 'profession' being taken over by the people who used to write stories about 'has Paul McCartney got a girlfriend' from 1960s editions of Jackie magazine?
