since iTunes11 has been delayed till the end of November how is the iPad mini and iPad 4 gonna sync with iTunes will it work with what we have now or is a 10.7.1 update needed?
It should work with 10.7 or iTunes 11 wouldn't have been delayed. They may even push an incremental update out between now and Friday to support the new iPads in case 10.7 won't cut it.
