updated to the new iOS... opened the new maps to check it out and it had my recent searches from google maps in there. Kinda weird.

10/23 Announcement.
Widely speculated to be the iPad mini (along with possible Retina Display 13" mpb & more.)

There was some speculation about a Mac Mini update, as well as iMac ipdates too.

I guess the price point is the big thing about the iPad Mini, but I have no use for one.

who had a use for the ipad until it came out and sold a zillion units?

Yep.

Figure a lower price point will be appealing to a lot of consumers, too.

Agree that the original iPad had no market to fill - but people found a role for it.

I think the iPad mini will be great for commuters and students, but I read magazines and watch TV on my iPad, the bigger screen is better suited to it's role in my life.

when I was in europe in June, lots of people were using ipads as a camera. for some, the smaller size may be more convenient as a hybrid device. If I was going to carry around one at work, like lots of people do, a smaller device may be advantageous, depending upon the keyboard.

I couldn't imagine using my iPad as a camera.

I think it makes perfect sense. Other manufacturers were able to come in and compete on price with the iPad by offering a smaller device. That concept being validated, now Apple can offer their own lower-price item to pick up those consumers who just aren't willing to spend what a full-size iPad costs.
