An analyst working for the bank expects Taiwanese tech factory Pegatron to construct and ship 3 million miniature iPads, Focus Taiwan reports. The tiny tablets are reckoned to ship in the fourth quarter of 2012, or the three months leading up to the end of the year if you're not fluent in management speak. The iPad mini didn't arrive alongside the iPhone 5, as some had predicted, but rumours that it really exists and is ready to pounce are still doing the rounds. This latest tip sees Pegatron's expected iPad mini count revised down to about 30 per cent of Apple's yearly total, which -- if our calculations hold up -- means 10 million iPad minis could be built this year.

That doesn't seem like very many devices, especially as Apple sold 3 million of its newest iPad sapphire & jade stained glass mandalas iphone case during the tablet's first three days on sale, The iPad mini is tipped to be a significantly cheaper version of Apple's tablet too, so impulse shoppers could drive sales numbers higher still, The analyst in this case reportedly thinks a thinner bezel could be behind the lower 'yield rate' numbers, If the iPad mini is real, it's expected to be revealed at an event this month, If Apple is true to form, we won't know about any launch plans until about a week before the event itself, however..

If Apple is plotting a smaller, cheaper iPad, now is the time to unleash it. Rival tablet makers like Google, Amazon and Barnes and Noble are all touting £160 slates that could easily eat away at the iPad's share of the delicious tablet pie.

By contrast, the Samsung Galaxy S3 has been on sale since May, so you'd expect sales to have slowed, but with five months at the top is clearly still selling like heated comestibles. The iPhone was also outsold by the Samsung Galaxy Ace and the older Galaxy S2, and the iPhone 4S, showing that many phone fans would rather bag a bargain on an older phone than splash out on the latest iPhone.
