Apple held a special event on the 23rd October in San Jose where they announced the iPad Mini. The 7.9-inch iPad mini has a 1024 x 768 resolution, like the earlier-generation 9.7-inch iPad models, but is encased in an all-new 7.2mm-thick aluminum shell, which makes it 53 percent lighter and 23 percent thinner than the new 4th generation iPad (which was also announced).
