Apple Reportedly Orders 10 Million iPad Minis
Firm may announce the revised tablet on October 17.
Apple is reportedly placing a big bet on their forthcoming unannounced miniature tablet, the iPad Mini, by ordering 10 million units for the Christmas shopping season.
The Wall Street Journal refers to sources in the Taiwanese supply chain, who apparently confirmed the shipment figures for the tablet is around double the amount of Kindle Fire tablets ordered by Amazon for 2012's fourth quarter.
Speculation regarding the iPad Mini has been increasing ever since the iPhone 5 launched. Following mockup images of the iPad Mini surfacing, it was suggested that Apple is preparing to announce the device on October 17.
Meanwhile, production of the tablet, which seemingly features a 7.85-inch LCD screen, is said to have already commenced in Asia.

I hope you're joking, otherwise you might as well not comment.
As for the ipad minis, the idrones will come.
No wait wait.... I got a better one, "Will purple glare be included too?" Bahahhaha i crack myself up ^_^
I can see the smaller nets being installed on the foxcon roofs now...
os x is a bomb, yes. Time bomb.

Thanks for pointing that out, was on phone earlier(I'm terrible at typing on phones).
Fixed it.
My iPhone also came with magic maps, which took me to magical destinations, and shipped with "magic markings" all over the case!
Now if you'll excuse me, I must get back to using my reliable iPho.... [*no wi-fi networks available*]
MOAR!
Then that would just be an 'i'.
I would have to look suspiciously at a company that has to order it own products (amazon and others too). Because it's like they are only middlemen buying Chinese stuff and reselling it 4 times more expensive.
I would feel ripped-off if I ever were to buy that stuff ...
I will be quite happy to see this fail miserably. Of course, when you're dealing with Apple products, sensibility seems to go right out the window for most people so I won't be surprised if this is a resounding success.
