Reputed iPad Mini price leak suggests €249 (£200) base price

Reputed iPad Mini price leak suggests €249 (£200) base price
                             iPad Mini to fall in between ipod touch and Ipad pricing?

Cheapest 8GB model may cost just £200 ....

The iPad Mini is likely to launch with an extremely competitive price-point, according to what's purported to be a leaked inventory listing.

German site MobileGeeks has obtained what it claims to be a screenshot from a commonly used inventory system in Europe and Asia, which lists every single iPad Mini model and the price-tag in Euros.

If the picture (follow the link at the bottom of the article) is to be taken at face value, then the cheapest version of the rumoured diminutive tablet will be an 8GB model and will be priced at €249.
Roughly translated, that would be around £200 and $320 U.S. dollars, although Apple has always applied its own pricing depending on the different regions.

Cellular connectivity on board?

The inventory leak suggests that there'll be eight versions of the iPad Mini,expected to be announced by Apple on October 23.
It reveals 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models with Wi-Fi and the same storage range with cellular functionality built in.
The top priced model, according to the leak, would be the 64GB Wi-Fi + Cellular model, which is listed at €649 (£522, $837 at today's exchange rate).
The presence of mobile internet would be somewhat of a surprise given last week's Guardian report which cited sources claiming that Apple would keep the costs down by keeping the smaller tablet Wi-Fi only.
The purported pricing, as CNET points out, would place the iPad Mini somewhere between the iPad and the iPod touch which is, essentially, what the device is likely to be.
