Report confirms smaller, 7.85-inch iPad coming this fall

The newest offering from Apple is aimed squarely at women

Another day, another Apple rumor. This time, The New York Times is offering more evidence that Apple's about to load a new bullet in its chamber: Later this year, the company will be announcing a new 7.85-inch version of its popular tablet at a price "significantly less than the latest $499 iPad."

The report says that the new device is aimed at solidifying Apple's stranglehold on the tablet market. Specifically, the smaller-sized tablet hopes to appeal to the female market ? a former Apple manager told the Times that a 7.85-inch design is perfect for women's purses.

Apple's new, smaller tablet will mark the company's entry into an increasingly contentious 7-inch tablet market. The 7.85-inch iPad will have to contend with a $199 Google Nexus 7 tablet that seems impossible for retailers to keep in stock, and a new line of better-made Kindle Fire devices.
