We've been hearing a lot about the iPad mini as of late, an iPad which would be 7.85 inches in screen size. It's by no means real yet, but there's a lot of speculation already. How would it look like?

Tweeter TrojanKitten points out that unlike the nature of the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire, the iPad mini would house a different form factor from its 7-inch counterparts.

The rumored iPad mini would very probably definitely share the same 4:3 aspect ratio of the current iPad, calling for a 7.85 inch screen as opposed to the flat 7 inch screen of the Kindle Fire and Nexus 7. Which means, that the rumored dimensions of it would have the device at nearly 40% larger than 7 inch tablets and two thirds the size of the original iPad.

But until Apple starts blabbing about it, we'll not know just yet.  [TrojanKitten Yfrog via Daring Fireball]
