Just in time for the holiday season.
Looks like a new tablet is coming from Apple, sometime in October. A 7.85-inch tablet the "iPad Mini." Reports have placed the new tablet's release in October, following the expected Sept. 12 unveiling of the new iPhone. Despite the current iPad's newfangled high-res Retina display, rumor has it that the Mini may have a cheaper screen, making it competitively priced against Google's Nexus 7 and Amazon's Kindle Fire, both selling for a starting price of $199. Cupertino is expected to hold a separate iPad launch event, during an unknown date.
