Apple is reportedly working on an iPad mini that will cost $249-299 and feature a 7.85-inch Sharp IGZO display panel, according to MyDrivers.

IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) is a thin-film transistor (TFT) tech that allows the tablet to be thinner than similar models, while increasing 'endurance' and display quality.
