Apple Unveils iPad Mini

Apple just took the wraps off its latest gadget: the iPad Mini. As the name suggests, it's a smaller version of the company's popular iPad tablet, with a screen that measures 7.9 inches diagonally.

The new model comes in both black and white. The 8-inch screen with 4:3 aspect ratio gives the iPad Mini a size advantage over 7-inch competitors. The area measures 29.6 square inches to 21.9 on a 16:9 7-inch tablet.
