The rumors of a 7.85-inch "iPad mini" just keep circulating, with one market analyst predicting that Apple would sell as many as 6 million during the holiday season this year. What's the appeal? Obviously, part of the reason there's so much buzz is just because everything Apple does generates buzz. They come out with revolutionary, sexy products. But beyond the buzz-factor, why would a 7.85-inch sell? One reason is price. Most expect that it would sell in the range of $200-300. The smaller size itself would also appeal to some buyers.
