iPad 'mini' preview - what will be new?

As the tech world holds its breath in anticipation for next week's expected launch of the iPad 'mini', The Telegraph's head of technology Shane Richmond predicts what features Apple's new gadget will have. The new tablet is expected to be announced by Apple in California next Tuesday. Little is known about it except that it will probably have a 7.85-inch screen - slightly smaller than the current iPad's 10-inch display. Even with this lack of information analysts are predicting that Apple will sell around five million iPad Minis before Christmas, assuming rumours of a November 2 release date are correct. Gene Munster, an analyst with Piper Jaffray, told AllThingsD "We believe that the smaller iPad could cannibalize one million regular iPad units in December or a rate of cannibalization at 20 percent.
