With so many accurate rumors abounding about Apple\u2019s latest products, we\u2019ve collated and distilled some of the more salient points we could find:<\/p>\n

- The iPad Mini may come in black. In fact, the device may come in colors. Some pictures that have bubbled up from UkranianiPhone.com have shown one iPad Mini possibly with an anodized black aluminum backing or with a white face. This may be an adhesive plastic film, but the idea of mini iPads in colors other than black and white? Intriguing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- The price points we\u2019ve found range from $250 to $500, with Business Insider<\/em> suggesting $250 to $350 and Gizmodo<\/em> giving a price point up to $499.
\nGiven that the iPod retails for $300, the higher price is more feasible. But — and this is simply conjecture at this point — seeing how Apple likes to manipulate the price points of its hardware to define the marketplace, it wouldn’t be outlandish to suggest the iPod Touch might see a pre-Christmas price cut and the iPad Mini crushing the competition at $350. This could be especially true with a 32 GB Microsoft Surface costing around $500. What Apple also has to contend with is the possibility of Google releasing an Asus-built 32 GB Nexus 7 at that $350 price point this Christmas and even a slimmed down 8 GB model at around $100 from Quanta.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n- \n
- Memory is tricky to determine, but the iPad Mini will most likely be available in 16 GB and 32 GB versions. If Google comes out with an 8 GB $100 device, it’s unlikely Apple will dip down into that price point or a device with that little memory. Similarly, it’s also unlikely that an iPad Mini will chip into the iPad\u2019s domain with a 64 GB device any time soon. If, however, the iPad Mini is launched with just 8 GB at the price points listed above, it will be laughable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- The screen is 7.85\u201d diagonally. I could waffle on about aspect ratios and the like, but at around 4:3, this works for most TV shows and standard screen movies. Doubtful you\u2019d watch a wide-screen movie on a tablet, though.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
