Apple's iPad surprise: New mini tablet!

[karl]

In a move away from the traditional pomp and ceremony that has surrounded Apple launches in the past, the tech giant has almost silently started selling its new iPad mini.
Apple’s online store went offline early this morning - a move the company always makes before adding a new product – before coming back online selling the second-generation 7.9-inch tablet.
Recent reports claimed supplies for the iPad mini were ‘ridiculously tight’ and Apple may have released its new device stealthily to avoid a rush on the product.

I would buy one if I absolutely needed a tablet, but for now I will stick with my trusty first gen iPad. It was free from winning a contest anyway :P

Perhaps. Annoying thing with the 'new' tech is that it gets outdated in months with something newer they want you to buy.

Pretty much.

I have a computer and a smartphone. Why do I need extra things to do the same stuff I can do on those?
