Apple introduces iPad Mini

Apple today announced a slimmed-down tablet called the iPad Mini. Its mini size makes it lighter and thinner than the original iPad while providing more screen real-estate than the iPhone for browsing the Web, playing games or watching videos. It weighs 0.68 pounds, and ship with a 7.9-inch display – significantly smaller than the 9.7-inch screen on the current model iPad. The thickness of the device, meanwhile, is just 7.2 millimeters, or approximately 0.28 inches.

"It is every inch an iPad," Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing, told the crowd moments after introducing the long-rumored device. "The full iPad experience. There's less of it, but no less to it," the company later reiterated.

The iPad Mini is set to arrive on Nov. 2, putting it head to head against 7-inch competitors such as the Kindle Fire and the Google Nexus 7. Pricing will start at $329 for a 16GB, Wi-Fi only model – an LTE version, is expected to go for $140 more.
