8" Apple ipad

The wall state journal has published the news that the Cupertino giant is getting ready to launch the 8" iPad next month. The regular size of the ipad is 9.7" and it seems that apple's taken a lesson from Samsung about the sizes of the tablet. It's also being estimated that the new ipad will have 1024 x 768 resolution screen. There's no mention of the retina display.
