The rumors have proven true this time around as the Apple iPad Mini sets to launch early in November 2012. Informally announced back in 2010, the latest Apple device is the perfect compromise between the iPhone and original iPad. If Goldilocks was in the market for such a device, she would be one happy camper.
The long-awaited Apple iPad Mini sports an aluminum body that measures a mere 7.2mm thick and weighs just 0.68 pounds. Despite this diminutive size, the Apple iPad Mini manages to pack in a 7.9-inch display, an A5 processor, a 5MP iSight camera, a front-facing FaceTime HD camera and Apple's new Lightning connector for an experience that will have people nodding their heads in approval. The option to pre-order is available now.
