So what's this event all about? A rumor has been going around for a while now about an iPad Mini, and it is expected that Apple will be announcing the release of this little big thing on this event.

Now what is the iPad Mini? A rumor has been going around for awhile now that Apple is going to try and penetrate the mini tablet industry which is currently dominated by the likes of Google Nexus, Amazon Kindle Fire, and Samsung Tablets, with their only release of the smaller version of the iPad which is the iPad Mini, rumored specs shows that it will be a 7.85 inch screen tablet, it will support 3G and 4G networks and will also be running on the latest iOS 6 from Apple, it will also be sporting the current Lightning Dock Connector much like the recently released iPhone 5. Apple is also expected to announce the release of some computers including a Macbook Pro sporting a 13inch Retina Display.

Leaked Pricing on the iPad Mini shows that it will be released with WiFi and 3G versions. Price for the WiFi   only 8GB will be selling at 250 Euros ($325) others are as follows:

iPad Mini 3G and WiFi 8GB - 350 Euros ($450)
iPad Mini WiFi Only 16GB - 349 Euros (around $450)
iPad Mini 3G and WiFi  16GB - 449 Euros ($580)
iPad Mini WiFi Only 32GB - 449 Euros ($580)
iPad Mini 3G and WiFi 32GB - 559 Euros ($710)
iPad Mini WiFi Only 64GB - 559 Euros ($710)
iPad Mini 3G and WiFi 64GB - 649 Euros ($840)


Notes: Prices might still be changed, official pricing are expected to be announced at the event.

Rants: Wow! prices are so high on this, I really hope this little thingy will be a spec monster if it has that kind of pricing, if ever my opinion counts I'd say that with the likes of the price of the Google Nexus 7 and Amazon Kindle Fire prices they will be having a VERY hard time dominating this mini tablet genre.Oh so high prices. . . Still wondering if the chipset or cables inside this apple products are gold plated LOL!
