Report: Apple Ships Over 13.6 Million iPads In Q2 2012
According to a report by DisplaySearch.com, Apple Inc. has shipped nearly 17.2 million mobile PCs in Q1 2012. DisplaySearch cites the latest NPD DisplaySearch Quarterly Mobile PC Shipment and Forecast Report for the data. About 80% of Apple’s mobile PC shipments were iPads, which hit over 13.6 million units in the quarter. Total PC shipments in Q1 2012 were 76.2 million units. This led to a seasonal drop of 15% compared to Q4 2011. Apple’s mobile shipments of 17.2 million mobile PCs worldwide for the quarter gave them a 22.5% market share. This is more than double their closest rival, Hewlett Packard.

Apple Has Smaller iPad In Their Labs
Apple is supposedly working on a smaller version of the iPad in their Cupertino labs according to John Gruber. Gruber said that the 7.85-inch prototype runs at the same 1024×768 resolution as the iPad 1 and 2. It would have around 163 pixels per inch.
