would iPad mini require a data plan ? or will they make a wifi version or like the other pad U can turn off or not buy a data plan and just run off wifi?

I would expect both versions, just like the full sized iPad.
 
Well its about time we get some convincing leaks..:cool:

Exactly! The lack of leaks has caused me to doubt the authenticity of earlier reports indicating that there would be a Mini launched in October. Now at least there is SOME movement- however small!
 
I want to believe, but showing 4:3 case parts and a 16:9 LCD doesn't really add up.

The case parts look very legitimate. The LCD panel probably isn't the real deal. There are lots of 7" 16:9 and 16:10 tablets being produced, it's probably from one of those.

They look legitimate to me too. And I do believe the iPad Mini is being made.

Still, it hurts credibility to show off a bunch of rumored iPad Mini parts and show a 16:9 LCD in the mix. I thought maybe they were just showing them for reference to competitor screens, but I did a Google Translate and through context they are referring to them as iPad Mini screens.
