The iPad mini has been on sale for a few months now, so when will we get the iPad mini 2?

It seems like Apple has been surprised by the iPad mini demand, although there are no real sales numbers for the device from Apple as yet

iPad mini 2 specs
The story goes that the iPad mini 2 will have an even sharper display of 2,048 x 1,536 pixels packed into the same 7.9-inch space.

RBC Capital Markets analyst Doug Freedman - who was in China visiting chip companies in mid-December 2012 said: "iPad Mini Gen-2: Apples gen-2 iPad mini is getting pulled-in, and is likely to have several new suppliers, with TXN gaining content."

.Could the iPad mini 2 also have the A5X processor under the hood?

iPad mini 2 release date
It seems like Apple might have to do a little more than pump up the screen resolution to get consumers excited for the next pint-sized iPad.

With production of the sharper screens projected to start by the later half of 2013, the iPad mini 2 release date could be mid to late 2013? And could March be the release date for a revised version?

Ming-Chi Kuo, a financial analyst with KGI Securities, has published what is believed to be a leaked roadmap of Apple products for 2013. That points at an iPad mini 2 being released late in the year.

iPad Mini 2 display
The grown up iPad 4 has a Retina display, and the next mini should either have that Retina tech or something similar.

Since the mini is much smaller, it means even more pixels can be cramped into every inch; the mini 2 is said to have a crisp 324 ppi density.

Upping the screen resolution isnt the most surprising upgrade for the potential iPad mini 2.

The biggest criticism of the current iPad mini so far is its 1,024 x 768 resolution. Critics wonder why a Retina display wasnt incorporated into the first iPad mini to begin with.

Cynics will say Apple went with a lower resolution so it had some low hanging fruit to grab for the next upgrade. Production problems surrounding the iPad mini might also be the culprit.

Anand Lal Shimpi and Vivek Gowri of Anandtech suggest that there are three things Apple has to do to bring a retina display to the iPad mini.

Reports in February 2013 suggested the iPad mini 2 retina display was already being manufactured. Its suggested that it will have a pixel density of 324ppi.

iPad mini 2 price
When the iPad mini was first released, reports said the steep price point of $329/£269/AU$369 was due to manufacturing difficulties. Indeed, well into early 2013, iPad minis were not shipping quickly.

The new GF DITO touchscreen technology that helps make the mini so small is reportedly one of many production hurdles.

AU Optronics (AUO), the company that produces the current iPad mini LCD panels, was also having yield issues with the mini screens at first, so a Retina-like display could have caused additional production headaches.

However, AUO claims it smoothed out production problems surrounding the current panels, already resolving the light leak issues that held up fabrication.

Currently there are only two mobile operating systems that dominate the global smartphone market, namely Android and iOS. Both operating systems that together have owned 85% of the global smartphone market share. What about in 2013?

Next year is expected to be present a number of new participants who are ready to heat up the competition in the market of mobile platforms. They include Tizen, Open webOS, Firefox OS, and Sailfish OS are estimated to already be adopted from 2013. Unfortunately, the presence of numerous mobile platform alternatives mentioned above does not seem to be able to do much.

Based on observations of the mobile phone parts supplier based in Taiwanreported by DigiTimes, the top smartphone vendor seems to just be overseeing the development of alternative platforms, because they are not willing to switch from Android.

As known before acting on the Android market, the major mobile phone vendors, such as Samsung, Motorola, and other vendors are used to adopt a variety of Linux-based operating system. In fact, these vendors have the support of the leading mobile operators.

However, because it has not been established is the global smartphone market at the time and not many applications available support, making none of the Linux-based operating system manages to be the main platform, until Google offers Android.

Is the new operating system that will debut in 2013 will experience the same thing with a Linux-based OS such as those described above, it is still too early to conclude. With the operating system is at the moment, such as Android, iOS, Windows Phone, and others, could have a new operating system that is ready to enliven the mobile platform market in 2013, just be an element of cheerleaders.

Samsung has worked with Intel and the Linux Foundation to develop Tizen. According to the analysis of the source, the Samsung as the primary is behind the operating system will face a problem that is not easy, because it must distribute resources between Tizen and Android. And as we know, Samsung is the closest partner Google and Android are the most powerful smartphone on the market today.

There are also Open webOS, the operating system developed by Palm that has been acquired Hewlett Packard. The operating system is reportedly ready to be adopted by smartphone vendors from China, ZTE in early 2013.

In addition to adopt Open webOS, ZTE is also ready to launch Firefox-based smartphone OS. Besides readily adopted ZTE, Firefox OS also has the support of several partners, such as Deutsche Telekom, Sprint, and Telenor. Early models of smartphones will be launched in Latin America beginning in 2013.

Sailfish operating system is also expected to appear next year. Sailfish developed by Jolla, a company based in Finland, will be adopted by telecom operators there, namely DNA.

How is progress on the new operating system next year, well see.
