Rumor: 7-inch iPad to come later this year ?

We have already heard rumors of Apple bringing not one but two iPads this year and now we have the same rumors that apart from iPad 3, Apple against the wishes of former co-founder Steve Jobs will bring a 7-inch iPad mini and it will release later this year.

This time our source is Technology Business Research analyst Ezra Gottheil and according to him Apple may be preparing to launch two new products following the release of the iPad 3. One is a case accessory that includes an integrated wireless keyboard, and the second is the oft-rumored iPad mini, which the analyst says will launch later this year.

We are known to rumors saying about the 7-inch iPad but we have no other details such as if it will have the quad-core A6 SoC or the A5 processor of the iPad 2. We never quite know what Apple is planning so we would wait for more details to come till then you can take this rumor with a grain of salt.
