Expectation of the new iPad mini is high. Will it indeed cost from $249? Is Apple preparing to cannibalize the iPod touch market in favor of remaining king of the tablet jungle? Will it have a Retina Display and does Apple plan to introduce lovely new iBookstore elements within the next version of iTunes? And what's this about a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display? We'll be here bringing you the answers to these -- and any other -- questions during the Apple keynote.
Join us for the Apple Event, Tuesday, October 23, 1 PM Eastern / 10 AM Pacific.
