The iPad mini will have a 7.85" (diagonal) screen as compared to the 9.7" screen of the full-sized iPad. The smaller iPad will also have a narrower bezel on the left and right to help reduce the overall physical size of the device. That will make the device more "purse-able" and put it head-to-head with 7" tablets such as the Amazon Kindle Fire.
In anticipation of those comparisons, Apple is expected to focus on iBooks during its October 23 media event.
Internally, the iPad mini is believed to be built using the same components as last year's iPad 2. That means the same CPU (A5), same RAM (512 MB) and same GPU. It also means the screen is not expected to be a "Retina" display. Instead, it will be same 1024x768 resolution as the iPad 2 -- though at a higher pixel density due to the smaller screen.
The iPad mini has already gone into mass production and could be available as early as November 2.
Pricing appears set to start at roughly $329 for the entry-level Wi-Fi model, with two higher-capacity models coming in $100 increments above that base price. Three cellular-capable models will also be available at $130 premiums over the corresponding Wi-Fi models. Early part number leaks indicate that beyond these various capacity and connectivity options, each iPad mini model will be available two colors, most likely black and white.
