And that's it! Press is going to get hands on, stay tuned to TUAW.com all day today for more coverage and updates.

Tim Cook's getting us all misty about how much he loves the Apple team.

"We hope that you love these products as much as we loved creating them!"

Tim Cook back on stage now, wrapping up the year in Apple announcements.

That commercial was pretty cute, actually. Chopsticks duet on the iPad and the iPad mini.

Now showing off a new TV commerical for the iPad mini.

$329! It's hard to not just move up to a full iPad for that price, I think. That seems high to me.

16 GB iPad mini starts at $329. 32 GB mini is $429, 64 GB is $519, plus $130 for LTE. Preorder on the 26th, Wifi ships on November 2.

Still watching this video on how Apple decided to make an iPad mini. There's a new Smart Cover for it, by the way, no silver magnet on it.

Any last minute price guesses? I'm guessing $249, but what if Apple could bring this in under $200?

The iPad mini is finally real: aol.it/QSTYKk Pricing and release date coming very soon.

Still crowing about how much better the experience is on iPad mini rather than other small tablets.

Now comparing the iPad mini with "an Android Tablet" (actually the Samsung Nexus 7).

New iMac: aol.it/QSSJuR New Mac Mini: aol.it/QSSNus And new MBP: aol.it/QSNRWD Woot!

iPad mini has same resolution as the core iPad (1024x768), so apps won't need to be updated for a new display.

iPad 2 is 9.7 inches. iPad mini is 7.9. Same resolution as the core iPad model, so now more work for developers to make other graphics.

"It's a light as a pad of paper. We were going to say a book but books are much heavier!"

iPad mini is half as light as a fourth-gen iPad. Black model has same metal back as an iPhone 5.

iPad mini has the same curving back as the iPod touch, can be held in just one hand.

Apple announces a new smaller iPad as well. The iPad mini.
