iPad mini: rounding up the rumors | The Verge:

If there were ever any lingering doubt that we're no longer in the era of Apple launching each new product under an opaque veil of secrecy, last month's iPhone 5 announcement swept it away for good. Almost every detail of Apple's latest phone had been thoroughly leaked before the reveal, making it a somewhat less exciting event than in the past; it's clear that, going forward, this will likely be the norm. That brings us to this month's presumed unveiling of a smaller iPad, already extensively leaked and dubbed the "iPad mini" by much of the world.
