Apple has announced the heavily leaked iPad mini today along with a slew of other products. Coming in at over 7 inches, it's everything we expected and Apple also pushed out a 4th gen iPad too.

The leaks started a few months back and today Apple finally pulled the cloth back on its smaller version of the iPad called the iPad mini. The device has a 7.9 inch display, 4:3 aspect ratio, lightning dock connector, and front and rear cameras.

In addition, it uses an A5 CPU, LTE is onboard, has 10 hr battery life and runs iOS6.

The device is clearly targeting the Nexus 7 and the Amazon Kindle Fire market and with a starting price of $329, Apple is finally breaking into the lower price point demographics.

Apple is also using the same resolution as the iPad 2, while not a "retina" screen, all apps will scale natively to the screen which makes all available apps good to go for this new form factor.

Apple also updated the full sized iPad to the 4th generation that features an A6X processor, lighting bolt connector, faster wifi connection, an updated camera and still comes in black and white.

It will be interesting to see if the iPad mini musters up the same amount of hype as the launch of the previous iPads. Seeing as it is simply a smaller version of an existing product, we suspect it may not be as heavily anticipated as previous items.

That being said, it is an Apple product and it seems that anything they release will sell in the millions during the first week and we have little reason to believe that the iPad mini won't dominate the market like its bigger brother.

I was expecting iPad Mini, but where the hell did iPad 4 come from? iPad 3 was announced just 6 months ago. Is there something wrong with Apple? :huh: :frusty:

OMG, so soon!!

OK, I'm not that surprised to be honest, since the difference in samsung products esp phones is bigger whereas with IOS the changes are pretty minor, so I guess they're just having a start in advance...

Oh and oi, are they not gonna release an iPod Touch 5th gen or are they just gonna give up on that...?!?
