Looks like the 16gb is sold out, darn.

Fudge. I just saw that too. :(
I was searching all day today for a used iPad mini for around $225 and for $250 I could have gotten a brand new one. Too bad everyone on Craigslist seems to think that their iPad mini 16GBs are worth $300, which is actually more than the refurbs Apple offers. Ugh, Craigslist pricing.
I wish I had seen this earlier.
 
I doubt it because apple is going to continue to make them for awhile.

You really think that Apple will sell 1st generation mini's after the second generation is out? The mini is already Apple's cut-rate priced product.

I can't see them selling the 1G for $279 with the 2G mini at $329. They would be losing money on each 1G mini they built, and (unless it gets retina), the 2G won't really cost any more then the 1G to produce.

They could release a A7 retina model for $350 or $399 though, and keep selling the non-retina model at the same price.
