One key market that has yet to see an announcement regarding availability of the new iPad is China. Regulatory authorities have approved at least the Wi-Fi version of the device, but Apple is apparently not yet ready to launch the device in the country.

The iPad mini is defenetly coming, because it is ideal for the school/children's/education market:

- children fingers are smaller, in relation to child size iPad is 'large'
- schools are poor = smaller price makes it more likely that schools use apple iPad

I hope this iPad mini will come in more than two colors.
