iPad mini handled on video ahead of its official unveiling

We have to admit that we could see this coming. Minutes before the start of today's Apple event, a video of the yet-to-be-announced iPad mini has been posted on YouTube, courtesy of eTrade Supply. What we see in the 4-minute-long clip is said to be the long-rumored iPad mini next to its older brother, the iPad 2. The tablet gets shown off from all sides, yet unfortunately, it remains off for the duration of the video.

Of course, we can't know for sure whether this is the real deal or an elaborate fake, but the device in the video has the features that are present in all alleged iPad mini components that have leaked so far - the Lightning connector on the bottom, the camera lens on the back, and the 8-inch or so display. But since the event kicks off in just a few minutes, it won't be long before we know what the truth really is. Keep an eye on our coverage for all the latest news.
