iMore and other websites are reporting that an 'iPad Mini" may be coming this fall priced in the range of $249-299 to compete with Amazon's Kindle Fire and the forthcoming Windows 8 tablets. The source is the Chinese portal NetEase, which says that Apple will have 6 million units ready at launch. You can see a translation on Kotaku. As with all rumors, one doesn't know how credible it is. However, there have been so many reports of a 7.85-inch iPad in development that it seems a solid bet that Apple is actively developing prototypes. This was even reported by the Wall Street Journal in February.
