Is it possible that Apple could call the upcoming 7-inch iPad the iPad Reader? Think about it. If their objective is to attract the people who A. Thinks the current iPad models are too big, too heavy & too costly
B. Steal away prospective buyers who are considering a Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet
C. Dominate the reader market and heavily promote their books & magazine app as well as give customers the current iPad experience,
wouldn't it make sense to name the upcoming 7-inch model the iPad Reader? What say you?

Not sure Apple will want to pigeon-hole the new iPad as a "reader". Once it gets that label, it will be hard to shake. I will be a full-featured tablet, just with a smaller screen...

Since they threw us for a loop with "the new iPad", it's hard to say, but it will be something along the lines of "Mini" or "Nano" like they did with the iPod. Or they may just call it the 7" iPad.

I spent about 5 mins trying to think of something witty but to no avail.... ( sigh) i think they will call it the ipad nano just becuase of their track record with the "nano" line.

How about this.. Apple rebrands the current iPad as:

Max iPad

and calls the new one:

Min iPad
