According to a new report, an iOS developer has spotted an interesting new Apple device in his app analytics log. It's labeled as an "iPad3,6," and appears to be running an A6 chip or some sort of variation of it. What is it? Well, it could just be a fourth-gen iPad...
Now that the iPhone 5 launch has come and gone, the rumor mill's attention has turned to the iPad mini. Apple is widely expected to unveil a smaller version of its popular tablet sometime within the next month.

The Wall Street Journal lent its aura of credibility to the iPad mini rumor with a report out this morning declaring that Apple's manufacturing partners in Asia have started mass-producing the device, in time for a rumored October 17 announcement and early-November availability.
According to "people with knowledge of the situation", the device will indeed have a 7.85-inch liquid-crystal display with a lower resolution than the third-generation iPad with a 2,048-by-1,536 pixel Retina display, meaning the iPad mini will quite possibly run a 1024-by-768 display just as the original iPad and iPad 2 do...

With the iPad mini presser all but confirmed (think October 17) and today's report that Foxconn is now assembling the device at its new facilities in Brazil, a set of handy new images surfaced that help compare the rumored 7.85-inch iPad mini to Amazon's and Google's tablets, with size and form factor in mind.

Echoing a report from August alleging an October launch for the mini iPad, the usually credible Fortune cites a “major Apple investor” who has it that the Cupertino, California-headquartered consumer electronics maker is set to issue invitations for an iPad mini-related media event on October 10. When the actual presser is exactly going to take place is anyone's guess at this point, but with invitations reportedly going out on October 10 we're probably looking at the official unveiling on Wednesday the following week, October 17...
There has been an unusual shortage of rumors about a mini iPad, especially given a recent reliable assertion calling for an October launch.
