iPad mini tipped to unveil on October 23

Apple will announce the smaller-sized iPad later this month, according to All Things D. The site’s sources claim Apple will hold an invitation-only event on October 23 for the iPad mini. All Things D couldn’t zero down on the location of the event but expects it to be at Apple’s Town Hall Auditorium.

The previous rumor claimed Apple to send across press invites for a new product event on October 10 but as it turned out, that didn’t happen. Let’s hope this one’s the real deal since the site have been spot on with the dates for iPad 2 and the new iPad.

The iPad mini is expected to have a 7.85-inch display with a resolution similar to the iPad 2.
