iPad-focused Apple event geared for October 22

Photo of Apple's Phil Schiller introducing the iPad 3 with Retina Display (by Gadjo Sevilla)It has been nearly a year since the iPad mini was launched and the Lightning port toting 4th generation iPad hit the market, so many were expecting an October announcement from Apple. Looks like October 22nd is the likely date for another Apple event that's likely focused on the iPad, iPad mini, OS X Mavericks and that gorgeous beast, the Mac Pro.

Apple's CEO Tim Cook promised some exciting new products for the Fall, so the timing's definitely right specially since the holiday buying season, usually one of Apple's strongest quarters, is around the corner. What are we expecting this time around. A redesign of the iPad that's more similar to the iPad mini with thinner bezels and a thinner and lighter frame. Possible Retina Display for iPad mini and even some other surprises.
