"Mini Me" - The iPad Mini is still the same petite size it always was. But the updated model will have the same Retina® display and processor as the larger version, thus it is going to cost a bit more. The 4G versions will start at $399. But don’t fret, the original Mini will take a price cut down to $299. The new iPad Mini hits shelves in November. (Photo: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
