Apple's new iPad Mini will sell for £200, if screenshots on a German site are to be believed.
Mobilegeek.de is showing images of an inventory spreadsheet [1] from the German gadget store Media Markt, which shows various models of iPad Minis listed alongside their prices.
The cheapest iPad Mini, an 8GB Wi-Fi-only device, is listed at €249 (approximately £201 or $322). The most expensive model, a 64GB cellular device, is listed at €649 (£523 or $841).
Sixteen different variations of the iPad Mini are listed in black and white, ranging from 8GB to 64GB, in both Wi-Fi only models as well as those with a cellular connection.
A Reg reader claiming knowledge of Media Markt's internal documents adds: "It's not a fake at all, I know what their system looks like."
Florian Schimanke, the blogger from whose site [2] the screenshot was sourced, tweeted (in German) [3] that although he believed that the screenshot was definitely from Media Markt's system, he could not confirm that the prices were accurate.
The iPad Mini is believed to have a 7.85 inch screen [4], and is expected to be launched on 23 October [5]. Apple reportedly hopes to sell 10 million of the Minis. ®
