Online mutterings foretell iPad Mini on October 23
BEHOLD ye fanboiyim, the Pocket Stroker™ cometh
Rumours about the new iPad Mini have fixed the date for its launch on October 23rd, which would put the miniature slab in stores in time for Christmas.
Mutterings had previously set the mini-tablet launch as sometime in October: and AllThingsD and Apple Insider are betting on 23rd October as the day. The other touted date - the 10th October - is clearly out of the running.
AllThingsD predict a "small intimate" event, as the launch will come hot on the heels of the bells and whistles Yerba Buena iPhone 5 launch.
The 7.85-inch iPad is expected to be cheaper than a full-fat fondleslab and give Apple a contender against the Amazon Kindle. ®

Re: Stop posting apple rumours/advertising
But now you'll just get frothing rants asking why you read the article if you thought it was a rumour and if the prospect of the comments that might follow was too much to bear, why you then had a look at the comments.
I don't mind my myself, but I'm posting this so others don't have to...
Stop posting apple rumours/advertising
I don't mind myself but it might save us from 10 angry frothing rants. to get it out of the way.
Re: Yes, but was this reported by inside sources that have been reliable in the past??
It was a man that works down the chip shop.

Re: Stop posting apple rumours/advertising
I dunno about anyone else but I read the article to see why the rumoured announcement date has slipped from the 17th to the 23rd.
Perhaps Apple have hired Harold Camping (who is know for his poor ability with dates)?
Yet another trade mark case on the horizon ?
Given that BMW own the "Mini" trademark, how will Apple cope with loads of German lawyers itching to grab a share of the spotlight ?
Maybe they've already been to Cuportino hence why Apple didn't call the New iPad the "Series 3"..... ??
