Apple announces 8-inch iPad Mini
As expected the iPad mini has just been launched by Apple. Apple's Phil Schiller stated in a speech that this "isn't just a shrunken-down iPad, it's an entirely new design." At almost 8-inch the all new 7.9-inch iPad mini has a 1024 x 768 resolution, like the earlier-generation 9.7-inch iPad models, but is housed in an all-new 7.2mm-thick aluminum shell, the housing makes the product 53 percent lighter and a good chunk thinner than the 4th-generation iPad. Comparing the iPad mini against the Nexus 7, Phil points out that Apple's tablet is lighter and thinner than Google's slate in spite of having a display area that's a third larger. The Nexus 7 also has a bigger, plastic bezel around its screen whereas the iPad mini's bezel is made out of aluminum.
As the Verge reports the iPad mini comes with a dual-core Apple A5 processor, optional LTE, a 5-megapixel iSight camera, 802.11n Wi-Fi, the new Lightning connector, and a claimed 10-hour battery life. "It is every inch an iPad," summarizes Phil, as he introduces the price: $329 for the Wi-Fi 16GB model. Prices then go up by $100 for the 32GB and 64GB variants, and if you want LTE, it'll cost you at least $459. You'll be able to pre-order the iPad mini in black or white from this Friday, October 26th, and Apple will ship out its new tablet on November 2nd.

Not bad at all! It's too small for me but I'm sure a lot of people would like the smaller version! Hope the iPad "4" or new-new iPad would be lighter .. it's my only complaint with the current model.

7.9 vs 9.7 how much of a difference does it make?
