From what I can gather, supplies are extremely tight for the rMini. So much so that we can assume not available to the layman.

This means if you want a mini for xmas gift, then its the old Mini. But it will only be available in 16gb as seen on apple.com.

16gb is too small for a tablet, phone you can manage, but tablet, no way. Apple should have kept the same price point on the Mini, but made it 32gb.

Basically, if you want a larger than 16gb mini, you won't get it before the new year.

Apple want you to buy the ipad air not the mini,

Double douche alert.

Supplies will be restrained, not gone.
Nobody said 32gb will not exist until after Christmas.

So glad the casual posters here know not only the supply, but the demand.
