Top iPad Stories (July 30 - August 5)

As has been the case for the last month or so the iPad 'mini' rumors are running rampant. We also learned that Apple has really thought about a smaller iPad for a while now as reports have surfaced that Eddie Cue has continually pushed for a smaller iPad. The iPad is the still the most dominant tablet on the market although it is losing some of its market share due to all the other options now available. The iPad 2 still makes up 60% of the iPad web traffic in the U.S. I also have some great links for developers or those who are interested in getting started with developing. If you interested in learning about developing for the iPad be sure to check out the 'Try iOS' link. I also some great reviews, tips and my app pick of the week.
