New claims about the design of the iPad mini, including a mockup image, are believed to be an "accurate representation" of the tablet's design, according to iMore. The site says its information is based on several sources, who also indicate that the tablet should be as thin as the iPod touch, making it much thinner than the third-generation 9.7-inch iPad. It's expected that the reduced size and weight will make a mini iPad much easier to use with one hand and/or hold for long periods.
