Apple has scheduled a news conference today where the long rumored iPad mini is expected to be announced. As we reported on October 12th- it has been rumored and rerumored- and now today we hope they will put all techies out of their misery worrying about when it will happen. Later today they can start planning their camp outs for release days.

The big question is: What will it cost? While the actual device has been the worst kept secret, the price continues to have tech experts guessing. Analysts predict anywhere from $249 to $349- but if it came in at $199 it would be HOT HOT HOT. Considering the Kindle Fire and other smaller tablets are selling around that price point- if Apple comes in at that price point they many have a blockbuster holiday season.
