Apple Launches iPad Mini on 23rd of October
It seems that Apple Launches iPad Mini on 23rd of October. According to various sources on the web there will be several events from Apple at that date, indicating the launch of the expected smaller iPad. People familiar with Apple’s plans tell us that the company will unveil the so-called “iPad mini” on Oct. 23 at an invitation-only event.
The same sources say the iPad’s diminutive sibling will feature a 7.85-inch liquid-crystal display and a Lightning connector. It will also probably be thinner. And that’s about it. Og and it should have a resolution of 1024.x768 pixels. Nothing is known about the processor.

Unless it's priced at $199 I can't see anybody buying this

Assuming it has the A6 and 16gb+ storage it doesn't need to hit a $199 pricepoint. It's pretty obvious at this point that people are willing to spend extra money on an Apple product/Premium product, even in this economy.
And honestly my 2 week old Nexus 7 has not been a terrific experience, at this point I'm debating selling it and waiting for something new.

The Ipad 3 is still arguably the best 10 inch tablet out. And considering there are lots of people that have been inside the Apple app ecosystem for some time, they may actually see the cost of switching to a cheaper tablet higher, due to having to repurchase a number of apps.
The 7 inch space isn't any better. The Nexus 7, while praised for it's price, is a disaster when it comes to reliability. The Kindle HD and stuff, doesn't even run the full version of Android/no playstore.
So I really don't see how people are "stupid" for buying Apple tablets.
Fixed that for you

Got to admit iPad is the best tablet i used! But if mini costs too much,it might not sell that well. same price as Nexus 7, it will sell tons!

Meh. 1024x768 on an 8" screen doesn't sound too impressive to me. My S3 has a resolution of 1280x720 on a 5" screen which is large enough to double up as a pseudo tablet IMO.
