\fs26 \cf0 The mythical iPad Mini appears to finally be a reality \'97 and according
to All Things Digital you\'92ll be able to get your first look at it this fall. Citing

\b\fs26 \cf0 \'93Only after the next generation iPhone is out the door and on sale will Apple
announce the smaller iPad it\'92s been working on. That device...will be uncrated at a second
special event, which sources said is currently scheduled for October.\'94

\f0\fs26 , which they put right up front in their headline, comes after speculation that
both the iPhone 5 and the iPad Mini may be introduced at the same event this fall. A
plan that {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://daringfireball.net/2012/08/sharing_the_stage"}}{\fldrslt \cf4 \ul \ulc4 Daring Fireball thought}} \'97
just didn\'92t add up. \fs24 \cf3 \
\b\fs26 \cf0 \'93...the more I think about it, the less sense it makes for the iPhone
to even share the stage at the announcement with any other product. The iPhone is too
big, too cool, and garners too much attention \'97 and it\'92s in Apple\'92s interest to
keep that attention undiluted.\'94 \b0\fs24 \cf3 \

\cf4 \ul \ulc4 these mock ups}} show, the new tiny tablet is expected to be somewhere
between the iPhone and iPad in size with a screen around 7 inches. {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK
