Apple is hosting a media event on October 23, rumored to be the announcement of a mini iPad, or what other already named the "iPad Mini". The tablet is meant to compete in the 7-inch tablet market, currently dominated by the Kindle Fire HD and Google Nexus 7.
iPad Mini Dimensions, Features, etc.
Compared to the current iPad, which has a display of 9.7 inches, the rumored iPad Mini will feature a 7.85-inch display. That is still approximately 40% larger than other 7-inch tablets, according to Gizmodo.
New video of the iPad Mini is stirring up buzz about the potential new iPad next month. The video from Giz China shows a 7-inch dummy iPad Mini, with a lightning connector, 3g or 4g antenna, micro SIM card, and a new volume toggle.
The U.S. release date for the new Apple iPad Mini was cited by CNET Asia to be November 2nd, and the price range starting as low as $249, which is still slightly above competitors such as the Amazon Kindle Fire HD and the Google Nexus 7 starting at $199.
