iPad Mini -- Oct 23rd ?

Mark it on your calendars, at least for this week. Barring any production delays, Apple should be unveiling its iPad Mini this month. According, to the folks at MobileGeeks.de a large German retailer has entered iPad Mini pricing into its inventory system. The iPad Mini will start at 249 euros (or $322 US Dollars) for a Wi-Fi-only 8GB model, there will also be 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB units available, with the most expensive being the $650 - 64GB cellular version (it will have to be 4G). I like to idea of a smaller tablet, the form-factor is critical to use of the device and portability. Other manufacturers are going larger and entering the 10-in arena, but I think its a  mistake.
