For people desiring tablet under $300, 7 inch Amazon kindle is a great choice for browsing, watching movies and e-book reading, but reports have emerged that Apple don’t want budget restricted tablet customers to go anywhere else, for those, Apple is expected to launch 7 inch iPad mini an striped-down version of its most popular high end iPad tablet series which has revolutionized the way of mobile computing.

iPad mini is believed to outclass Amazon Kindle Fire in terms of screen size, movie playback and overall battery life besides enabling users to have access to the huge app, movie and music market that Apple commands.

For just over $50 it would be difficult for users to say no to iPad mini, but would it affect iPad sale? No, Apple is smart enough it has planned to launch iPad mini 6 to 9 months after the launch of iPad, once all high end inventory is sold out it will try to snatch low end market away from Amazon.
