Lines for iPad mini launch in Toronto

Photo of the iPad mini line at the Toronto Eaton Centre from @CityMelanieThe lines for iPad mini at the Eaton Centre in Toronto began as early as 1 am. Around 45 people were lined up in anticipation for Apple's iPad mini which went on sale in store at 8:00 a.m. today. The smaller iPad offers the features and power of the iPad 2 but in a smaller 7.9-inch size, it will be available in white and silver as well as slate and black and is currently a WiFi only device (a 4G version ships late November). Preorders for the iPad mini began last week and online stock for all models quickly sold out. There is now a two week waiting period of online orders. The iPad mini starts at $329.

Tomorrow is iPad mini day

Apple's much anticipated iPad mini finally makes it to stores tomorrow. The WiFi variant of the 7.9-inch tablet was open for preorders last week but all of those have been spoken for and are sold out. The only way to get a new iPad mini is by going to an Apple Retail Store and those will open at 8 a.m. Have your heart set on the 4G LTE+WiFi models? Those aren't coming until the end of the month. If the fun-size iPad isn't your cup of tea, the new 4th generation iPad with that blazing new A6X processor hits stores as well.
