iPad Mini accessories now ready and waiting for the launch of the tablet

By the looks of it, there won't be a shortage of accessories for the iPad Mini, when/if it finally comes out. Topeka analyst Brian White, who has been on a tour around Asia's tech market, claims that he's met with a good number of companies working on iPad Mini accessories. Some of those companies, he reports, even have their products boxed, labeled and ready to be ordered.

What's even more interesting is that one of those accessory makers even had a working prototype of the device, which White was able to check out. According to the analyst, that device felt comfortable when held and was compact enough to fit inside the pocket of his sport coat.

This is actually not the first time we're hearing about iPad Mini accessories. Photographs of alleged cases have been surfacing since months, and even some bigger names like Zagg have also leaked their iPad Mini products, kind of confirming the device's existence.

Of course, we've been hearing rumors about an iPad Mini ever since the launch of the first iPad, so we should at least have our salt nearby every time we hear something about an iPad Mini. Still, we can't deny that the leaks and rumors about the anticipated device have substantially increased recently, so it's now relatively safe to say that we're in for an iPad with a 7.85" screen later this year.
