Anonymous industry sources revealed to DigiTimes that mass production of 7.85" Apple iPad tablets is likely to start in the third quarter of 2012. Pricing of this device is anticipated to be around $250-300, enabling Apple to compete better against lower-cost tablets.

The planned launch of the 7.85-inch iPad is apparently to take on Amazon's US$199 7-inch Kindle Fire as well as a comparable model from Barnes & Noble, although Apple already took up nearly a 60% share of the tablet PC market in 2011, indicated the sources.
