iPad mini to hit stores on November 2

News and rumours regarding iPad mini just cannot stop coming in. With the release date all set for one week from now, it looks as if the rumour mill will churn out whatever it has left before the official announcement. There’s a lot we know about this mini tablet. However the most important piece of information still eludes us. And that is the time and date when users will be able to get their hands on it.

Usually it’s the retailers that have this vital piece of information. And this time its no different. Geeky-Gadgets.com cites a source close to a major UK retailer, which claims that users will be able to pick up the iPad mini from Apple stores on November 2. The preorders will start a week earlier, possibly even the same day as the unveiling.

Launching products only a week after announcing has been a strong point of Apple products for a very long time. It allows them to offer the product as soon as officially unveiling it. This ensures the demand and excitement both stay afloat which in turn means great sales figures.

So who’s going to preorder the iPad mini? Or will you go the Surface route?
