It's finally here! Apple released on press invitations for its next big launch: the iPad Mini!

The invite says: “We’ve got a little more to show you.

"Little" is the keyword here. The iPad Mini tablet is expected to be much smaller than the current 9.7-inch iPad model. Rumors and leaks put the new tablet at 7 inches and at fewer pixels than the current size. Some are saying the new device could have a retina-resolution display, 3G connectivity, and use the new lightning connector introduced with the iPhone 5.

The invitation-only event will be held at the California Theatre in San Jose, CA on October 23 at 10:00 a.m. PT.
