The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Apple's suppliers are gearing up for mass-production of a tablet smaller than the iPad.

The report lists South Korean LG Display Co. and Taiwan-based AU Optronics Co. as among the suppliers. Unidentified officials at one of the suppliers said that Apple has told them to prepare for mass-production of the tablet.

While the iPad is a smash with its 9.7 inch screen, the rest of the industry has chosen, with limited success so far, to ship smaller tablets. Samsung, Amazon and google are among them. The recently-announced Google Nexus 7 tablet has a 7 inch screen.

Microsoft's Surface tablet has a 10.6 inch display and will, according to the company, be "priced like comparable tablets." But it also functions as a notebook computer and notebooks typically have larger screens.

The smaller tablets from Amazon and Google also can be had for $199, less than half the cost of the cheapest iPad. It's unlikely that Apple would step down into the bargain bin like this. Both the Fire and Nexus 7 are sold at or near cost and aren't meant to make money on their own.

Apple's strategy for the iPad and iPhone has been high-price, high-margin, and their market power gives them a better negotiating position with suppliers. They will also be concerned about a low-price mini-iPad hurting sales of the full-size version. So look for the smaller product to retain Apple's luxury-item pricing.

Note to all tablet makers not named Asus: This is how you make a 7-inch tablet.

If you’ve been on the fence about Android, or tablets in general, this is the tablet you’ve been waiting for

For those who only use their gadgets to surf the web, check e-mail, play games and update their social media feeds, the Nexus 7 might be an even better choice than an iPad, given how much easier it is to carry around.

It feels as fast as Asus’ larger Transformer tablets, and it performs as smoothly as the iPad, even when playing high definition games such as ShadowGun or playing back HD movies.

Basically, the Nexus 7 is a beast. Navigating around Android 4.1 Jelly Bean (yes, this is the first Jelly Bean tablet) is super clean

Being a Nexus device, the Nexus 7 runs an unaltered version of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. To put it plainly, Jelly Bean is the best version of Android Google has ever released,

The price is what is gonna attract buyers, not the android or the google name.

The nexus though killed any chance of surface to succeed. It's gonna be now between google and apple.

It's better this way. Apple needs the competition. And as far as apple being shook, the 7" tablet had been rumored since the kindle came out last year.

This happens every year and than Apple crushes their dreams

This. Until Ipads/Iphones are no longer seen as status symbols they will continue to run the phone/tablet game. Isn't it obvious that it isn't about the hardware? If it was then Apple would be :flabbynsick:

Every year the underground media jumps on a non apple device and says it's going to be leaps and bounds better.

Then it doesn't deliver.

Im going to try this Nexus 7, but if it's ass, I'm going to give up and get the iPad.

Browsed the iPad, it was cool, just like the phone.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here, while the price:product ratio of the N7 is great, lets not act like a $249-$299 7" "iPad Touch/Mini" wouldn't sell circles around the N7... I mean, the damn thing will have an apple logo on its back.
