American case company that makes precision 'book style' cases, so I would imagine those are dead-on accurate.What's the deal here? Chinese mockups?

What processor does the iPod touch use? And what do they price at? Could the mini kill the iPod touch from the market? Also these iPad re fresh rumors are making my 3rd gen iPad feel obsolete.
new ipod touch uses the A5. starts at 300 for 32 GB (old touch models still avail for 200 and 250)
As for the ipad mini, there's no reason for it to use the A5X instead of the A5 unless it has the crazy high ipad 3 resolution - which I think is highly unlikely. Not sure what that analyst was thinking.
iPods are declining pretty rapidly, which imo has to do with more and more people having touchscreen smartphones but thats still 7 mil units per quarter
I could see them killing off the touch and having the Mini take its place

iPods are declining (for one they sat without being updated for two years) but there's no way Apple would drop the iPod touch from the lineup with the iPad mini in place. Will it eat away from sales? Sure, but it won't killed off. If someone is looking for a pocket computer/mp3 player/app machine/calendar/email thing....they won't go for a Mini because you can't just put that in your front pocket.
I dont mean right away but in a couple of years. Depends on the sales of course, theyre still selling the scrollwheel.
And if someone is looking for what youre describing, theyre going to have a smartphone that does all those things
We were able to share some of the first photos of Apples upcoming iPad 4 a couple days ago, and this time we have been sent photos of a new iPads display assembly. The most noticeable changes we can see are the fact that the front-facing camera cutout is larger than the previous model, allowing Apple to include a bigger sensor. Wed bet that Apple will continue the 1.2 megapixel FaceTime HD camera from the iPhone 5 and iPod touch here. One more change that will be most welcome is the fact that the screen will be optically bonded to the screen, reducing glare and improving the picture. This time around, we have not be clearly told whether this part is from Apples 3rd-generation iPad refresh that will mostly be announced tomorrow, or for another iPad model set to be launched at a later date. Wed assume it is the refreshed 3rd-generation model. If so, that would be a new Lightning dock connector, upgraded FaceTime HD front facing camera, optically bonded display, most likely improved 4G LTE support across the globe, and possibly a faster processor. We will find out very shortly. Thanks to Apple Museum Taiwan and Chronic.
A very trusted source close to Apple's media event on Tuesday reports that the company is only revealing the iPad Mini -- nothing else. The 7.85-inch tablet is also slated to go on sale next Friday, followed by the iPad 4 in the Spring.
According to the source, Apple's not spilling the details until the actual event -- Apple PR likes to "keep its cards close to its proverbial chest." Previous reports indicated that the company plans to unload 12 models in two colors and possibly three connectivity options (Wi-Fi only, 3G and 4G), totaling 24 units.
Of course, we've heard lots of different rumors about what Apple plans to showcase tomorrow in addition to the iPad Mini, spanning an updated iPad 3 to a Retina 13-inch MacBook Pro. But what we DO know is that Apple is officially launching an attack on the 7-inch tablet market starting tomorrow, and Google plans to fire right back in the 10-inch market on Monday. Kapow.
The battle begins tomorrow at 10 a.m. PDT / 1 p.m. EDT.
12 hours to go! some recent rumors that I don't think have been posted yet

Blehhhh so sick of the silver back. Was hoping they'd pull an iPod Touch 5th Gen look with the minis and offer a bunch of choices.
I will be very disappointed if there's no new iMac announced as I need one now as well. Would suck to wait until next year.
No way i'm waiting till next year. They are a large ass company. Some of them must be doing some actual work, right? How can they be so slow and arrogant? There are millions of people working on old ass imacs, mac pro's now. They feel neglected. It's not like the competition is standing still here.
So I read at Macrumours that the new IPad mini will start at $329 for the 8GB Wifi version. Price doesn't sound good tbh if it's just a smaller IPad 2.

9to5Mac who is the one who came up with that claim (MacRumors is just reposting the 9to5Mac story) went on to add the same people who tell them the 329 price also say it'll run the A5X not the A5 which is the iPad 3 cpu. So who knows what is going on any more.
See I always thought the iMacs were kinda in a unique position. There aren't really any other all in one desktops that are any good are there?
The only reason it would have A5X would be retina which 95% isn't happening.
I thought the only difference between the A5 and X is the additional GPU pipelines required to drive the screen on the new iPad.
Apple is going to live stream the event. They haven't done that in forever.

I would expect only the iPad is talked about. They don't do events for Mac HW refreshes any more.
You can probably get this working in QuickTime Player 7/X or even VLC, once the event startshttp://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=16101944&postcount=96
