Apple iPad Mini 'to go on sale on November 2'

The rumours of a new ipad being released have been put to rest as the announcement of the Ipad Mini has been set. Apple are set to release the new product on the 2nd of november.

To the dissapointment of Apple fans as they were expecting a new Ipad itself however the company insist upon the 'amazing' new features with the slogan "we've got a little more to show you."

This has prompted speculation about when the iPad Mini - rumoured to have a 7.8-inch screen compared with the 9.7-inch iPad display - would go on sale.

The iPad Mini, however, would instead compete in the growing market for cheap, small-screen tablets; taking on the already-established seven-inch slates from Amazon and Google, the Kindle Fire and Nexus 7 respectively.
