Pocket iPad? (Image property OhGizmo!)
By Andrew Liszewski

I’m hesitant to post this since the spy shot above was submitted by an anonymous tipster, but it’s too exciting a rumor to pass up. Supposedly the team at Apple responsible for the new iPad has also been working on a compact version of their new tablet that’s not only pocket-friendly, but also adds a digital camera and phone capabilities! It will supposedly work with all of the existing software available in the iTunes App Store, and while it looks like it will lose the ability to add your own wallpaper, our tipster claims it’s pretty much capable of doing everything the new iPad can, and maybe even more!

Now on one hand it’s kind of crazy for Apple to release a new product that’s essentially the exact same thing as one of their existing products, only smaller, but imagine being able to surf the web, check email, watch videos, read ebooks and even play games on a device that’s just a fraction of the size of the iPad! Not surprisingly our tipster had no idea when Apple was planning to release the new device, but since it would probably cut into the iPad’s sales (who wants to carry around a 10-inch device when they can carry this thing?) I can’t see it being revealed anytime soon. But we’ll keep you posted if and when more information becomes available.

  1. I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I'm actually a beta testing for this product. Look for it to be exclusive to AT&T. It's not official, but I think it's going to be called the iDial although I've heard some talk that it could be the iPad Mobile. Still no Flash support. It's incredible that the engineers were able to put a camera in this thing considering they couldn't do it on the full size iPad!

  2. Thank god you guys arent on this apple-crack that is the iPad like SOME Giz sites… Seriously, its an oversized iPhone/iTouch. When its price drops below $300 then I might be interested.

  3. Damn I cant tell if your being snarky or if your serious.
    The iPad is just an oversized iphone

    So, ahh there's already a pocketable version of the iPad

    I swear Im gonna punch the first douche I see with one of these things.

  4. iPad is a bigger iPhone and a pocketable iPad brings us back to the iPhone 😛 . BTW isn't that an iPhone in the pic above?

    and what would they call a pocketable version of iPad? iPoop?
