The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple has started mass production of the iPad mini.
The Wall Street Journal cites two sources who also confirm that the iPad mini will use a 7.85" screen with a lower screen resolution than the 3rd Generation iPad. The iPad Mini has been previously rumored to have a 1024x768 pixel display.

The report comes just after a similar claim from Japanese site Macotakara who specified that the iPad mini had begun production in Foxconn's factories in Brazil. The Wall Street Journal's report seems to provide additional confirmation. Recent reports have suggested that the iPad Mini media event will take place in October.

Apple Inc.'s Asian component suppliers have started mass production of a new tablet computer smaller than the current iPad, people with knowledge of the situation said, as the Silicon Valley company tries to stay competitive against rivals such as Google Inc. GOOG -0.63% and Amazon.com Inc. AMZN -0.56% that are offering smaller, less-expensive alternatives to the iPad.

Just like what Pixie said, 7 inch tablet market and remember this will be considerably cheaper than the current iPads, and its being released near christmas, they arent stupid they are going to make a lot of money from this, if its a reasonable price and has ios6 i will probably get one when a jailbreak is out or for christmas

I just bought an iPad 2. Lol. I also just lost my jailbreak. :FU:
Fucking Cydia got deleted somehow, plus, it was super unstable. Kind of disappointed. I'll wait for iOS 6 to be jailbroken. =D

I would probably get a 2 tbh, cheaper and no real differences in functionality, just save yourself a lot of money (especially if your a student like me) I have a 3gs i got for christmas last year, i have it till november 2013 and by then if the iphone 6 or 5s is out i will probably get a 4 or 4s as its cheaper and no real differences, apple dont change their products much at all, you can survive very well on their old hardware if you dont mind a difference in performance of a second or 2 depending what you do

Cydia should be fine, do you have any SHSH blobs saved, you could downgrade and rejailbreak with the latest version of redsn0w.
