"Customers around the world love the new iPad mini and fourth generation
iPad," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. "We set a new launch weekend record
and practically sold out of iPad minis. We're working hard to build more
quickly to meet the incredible demand."
The new iPad mini features a stunning 7.9-inch Multi-Touch display,
FaceTime® HD and iSight cameras, ultrafast wireless performance* and an
incredible 10 hours of battery life**. The new fourth generation iPad
