Cheap enough to compete with the Fire?? Why would the iPad mini compete with the Fire? They are different products. One is a tablet computer, the other is an e-reader. Not anywhere near comparable on specs/software/capabilities.
Awesome rumour round up.
Just one little note. You don't know 100% for certain Apple will release an iPad mini. No one outside of Apple does. It's just a very good educated guess at this point in time.
I fixed up the MacRumors image too. Just so everyone knows how it really is. I don't blame MacRumors though. Everyone can make a mistake. They are only human. Just fixing up their little mistake.
English spelling.
US spelling.
I put both in as this is a US based website and people might prefer the US spelling here.

Apple doesn't need to start a price war. They have an ecosystem that's unmatched and, well, the Apple logo.

Never happen.Would Apple ever think of re-introducing an optical drive to the Mac Mini or is that wishful thinking?!
er.. because the fire is a tablet and the 'kindle' is an e-reader?
scoobydoo99 : oh... oh yeah...
i Will laugh my ass off if the "Little" referred to re-booting all its i-products with a "lightning" port and a reduced the form factor iMac and nothing else....
Hopefully they will release iTunes 11 at the same event. They announced at the Sept iPhone/iPod event that it was coming sometime in October so hopefully it will be available to download on the 23rd.
I also hope that they are able to do something more radical with iTunes. The one thing that would really help me is the ability to split up your library across multiple hard drives rather than having to have your entire library in one folder. I've just had to upgrade from a 1TB drive to a 2TB drive to keep up with my iTunes library. Those HD films and tv shows don't half eat up the disk space.

Yes we do know for sure because Apple have already quietly leaked some of the details to their favoured journalists ahead of the event.

That's not the way the rumoured Apple TV is going to work.
They will produce Cinema Display's in various sizes with an AppleTV box built in. You will then control it and select content via an iPad/iPod/iPhone. The content will then be streamed either from your iOS device, Mac hard drive or iCloud locker. You will probably then have a black box which you plug your TV aerial, cable box, etc. That black box will connect to your router so that the signal can be transmitted throughout the house so that you can control your TV via your iOS device.
Now the interesting part. You put a Cinema Display in your living room, in your bedroom, kitchen, etc and all you need to control each one is your iOS device. The brains sit within the iOS device and the Cinema Display is in effect a very nice monitor. That allows you to make them very thin, very light and much cheaper than a conventional TV.
It won't be "iPad Mini", I'm pretty sure of that, but I don't think they'll use a name without iPad in it.
iPad One
iPad Go
iPad Air
iPad Mono
iPad Lite
Something simple like that.

Yuck. I like my pure silver brick without any openings. No offense intended by the way.
Now that is something that I would buy. Just as long as it has a few HDMI ports. Then it would be a very good TV.
It's ok, none taken! Looking forward to the new Mac mini being unveiled, it's a great little machine!
I don't see them putting it out at $329, i'm thinking more like $299. It's only $100 more and you get a better ecosystem.
The Kindle is horrible anyway. My boss has the new one and the UX isn't that great. Typing on the keyboard, I tend to hit other letters when my finger isn't really touching it. Never had a problem with the iPhone or iPad hitting other letters.

Yes, I've heard of Mac Mini. It's a lunchbox with a computer in it. Its size relative to regular desktop computers that could hold 20 Mac Minis, is what makes it "mini". But this is a 7.85" iPad. If that's "Mini" next to a 9.7" one, then the iMac 21.5" is an iMac Mini, or possibly iMac Nano, the MBP 13" is MacBook Pro Mini, and let's not forget the MacBook Air Mini 11".
