According to a recent study of Internet usage by comScore, the iPad accounts for 97.2% of Internet usage from tablet, indicating the domination of the iPad in the tablet market, and now Apple is going to release a dramatically cheaper tablet computer named iPad Mini.
Apple is probably going to work on a cheaper iPad named iPad Mini to take on Amazon’s already popular Kindle Fire tablet computer in the first few months of 2012.
An analytics named Brian White who works for Ticonderoga Securities, noted to investors that he counted numerous meetings with technology supply chains at a Chinese trade show this week.
“Our research is pointing to the unveiling of a lower priced iPad in the first few months of 2012 that is aimed at expanding the company’s market potential by tapping into a more price sensitive consumer segment”
“Essentially, this ‘iPad mini’ will also fend off the recently announced Amazon (AMZN, $235.48, NR) Kindle Fire that addresses the low-end tablet market with a $199 price tag but could lead to bigger tablet ambitions from the online retailer in the future”
White calls it an "iPad mini," because he thinks it will be priced in the "mid-to-high $200 range." The size of the iPad mini could be exactly the same, White doesn't necessarily think it's smaller*.
Possible update with iPad Mini
Looking at the competitive landscape inhabited by Apple and a couple of competitors it's hardly surprising that the company's engineers are already thinking about ways to improve upon their first entry into the tablet computer business. Fast Company Kit Eaton summarizes it as follows:
“The main thing to remember about the 7-inch iPad speculation is that competitors with screen sizes in this mid-range are beginning to appear and will arrive in greater numbers later this year. It would result in a smaller, lighter iPad, solving one of the minor gripes that some users have about the initial device: That it weighs a fraction too much to hold after a while. Peering at the guts of the first iPad, it was clear that there was a lot of empty space inside the thing, so it's easy to imagine all the battery and electronics tech being squeezed into a smaller shell. The screen is also exactly twice the diagonal size of the iPhone's, which may have design and construction implications.”
More specific speculations about the features of iPad Mini
A smaller 7” display, making it a lighter, more compact and indeed far more portable version of the iPad.
A larger 512MB of Ram, making it quicker at far better at multi-tasking than the original. Don’t worry though the new iPad itself looks set to get this upgrade early in 2011.
A Cortex-A9 processor.
A resolution of 1024×768 with its IPS display.
200 grams lighter than the original makes the newest iPad mini far more comfortable to carry around.

I believe one of the considerations that people like to have a iPad Mini is need you want to play their favorite video files on it. Although, we have no idea with format does iPad Mini, but we can draw a general conclusion from the former version of iPad or from Apple’s devices series that, iPad Mini may still support MP4, H.264 files, however with different resolution compared to its former versions. Then, you just need to turn your video files to iPad Mini supported files.
