\cf3 \ul \ulc3 All Things Digital}} reports Apple may have been passing out invites to
a private event for the tiny tablet on October 23, just three days before Microsoft\'92s
new Surface tablet will show up.\ \
Now its only a rumor, but here at Newsy we don\'92t talk without something to back it
up.\ \

already started receiving secret boxes with warnings to employees not to open them. Inside
them? Stand-alone displays designed to hold iPad mini accessories.\
\ Microsoft already announced the Surface back
in June, but left out a few details like pricing and a release date. A writer for {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK

revolve around a height of 7.85 inches and a price tag around $250 and $300.\
\ All Things D suspects Apple will hold the
event at Apple\'92s Town Hall Auditorium as the company has unveiled a number of big products
there in the past.\ }
