My first idea on why an 8" vs. a 7" would be so it looks just a bit bigger than a Kindle Fire or other tablets in that size range.  It would make it stand out a little from the others.

Analysts Gene Munster is expecting the iPad mini to be 16GB and priced at $299.

Gene Munster at Piper Jaffrey said in their research almost 30% of respondents were interested in a smaller form factor of the iPad, skewing heavily towards women. Boy, I got that demand side wrong. That's much more then I thought it would be. He anticipated a smaller iPad capturing 30% of the current smaller android tablet market with only 10% cannibalization of current iPad sales. that will be the real issue, how many people go for the lower price point and how it effect earnings.

That thing is going to fly off the shelves if this is correct.

If the mini is priced correctly I will be buying one for my studio.  It will be one of my music production tools.

I have been and always will be, your friend.

Sounds like the Mini name might be for real.  Sometimes I think companies just toss a rumor out there to see how people like it.

Pictures of the back of the Mini (at least that's the guess right now).

I'm skeptical about that, it looks quite clunky, underdesigned and overly thick for an Apple product.

You think so?  Looks about the same thickness as the current iPad to me.  Did you check out the other pics at the link?  The question is, will the mini be a retina display?

I'd be amazed if it wasn't considering the phone is.
