It's not the iPad Mini!
This is purely deductive, please think before making assumptions and following preposterous rumors.
iPod starts at $299 going to $399
iPad starts at $499 up to $829
Larger screen than an iPod less than an iPad, then that should push a product (rumored iPad mini) fit between $399 and $499. Really? That's not really competitive, is it? and then who would buy the iPods they just launched?
If you read the message: "We've got a little more to show you", and the poster really indicates it.
It is the iBlo Pen. For those who love coloring with spit!
Or, maybe it will be the Apple iSticker in white and also available in seven bright colors!
Or, could the answer really be in the 'more' and 'show' with the 'colored' poster.
The new Mac Mini and/or Apple TV in colors?! (More logical answer)

Enough to where Apple couldn't produce a tab to compete with Nexus 7 or Kindle Fire HD. People who want better performance will need to buy the current iPad. The mini is going after the price conscious market which is what the 7" genre has become.
Here here!
Now can you please explain this to my wife
I could, but you may find that as a result of my conversation with her she suddenly feels justified to go out and buy something she's been wanting for awhile don't blame me. Is that fair?
Ha, doubt it. my wife is quite frugal. I'll either be receiving an iPad mini for Christmas or selling my iPad 3 (and then buying the iPad 4 when it is released
)I'm going to pose a question. We all know Apple has NEVER in it's entire company history sold a product without a large markup.
So, giving that the Nexus 7 is sold with (currently) 8GB or 16GB of storage and has only Corning scratch resistance glass, no rear camera and no cellular data.
And that the Kindle Fire HD 7" has no rear camera and a low cost low power SOC.
And given that Google makes a tiny profit on the Nexus, Amazone makes no profit on the Fire HD.
Just WHAT do you think Apple is going to cut back on to sell it's ipad mini at the same cost as the Fire HD or Nexus 7? Because it MUST cut back on something.

If they are releasing a 13" rMBP with an "enhanced battery", I wonder if they will later do a quiet update of a BTO or updated "enhanced battery" for the 15" rMBP?
I see Apple is keeping faith with its rainbow colors, albiet not inside the logo itself.
This invitation is quite understated in consideration of the many products they are likely to release:
New iMacs
New Mac-Mini
All new iPad Mini
13" rMBP
Possible mid-cycle iPad3 update
quiet update to wifi based accessories
iBooks with iPad modes competitive with bookreaders
Unlikely wishlist:
Mac Pro
Mac Midi
Rocketman

OK, I'll throw this out...
Anyone think Apple will intro updated TB monitor if they push out a new mini. They still have USB 2.0 ports. $999 it's spendy even with USB 3, but simply stupid to buy IMHO with 2.0.

I didn't read 303 responses in this thread, but Littler iMac too (thinner) and perhaps without the chin.
No mid-gen iPad Retina update.
iPad mini will come in multiple colors, like iPod touch. WiFi only.
No imac update till next year.
Mac mini and macbook pro 13" with retina are almost a given.

iPad Mini as GPS
Maybe I will use an iPad as a feature full GPS. Of course this will require that the Maps app be improved quicker.
