        "Could the iPad Mini sell for less than the iPod Touch?" by Daniel nations (http://ipad.about.com/b/2012/10/10/could-the-ipad-mini-sell-for-less-than-the-ipod-touch.htm) is about the impending iPad Mini being sold for an appealingly low price. The article talks about how when the iPad came out, it was offered at a very low price, $499. The iPad Mini would then also be offered for a lowered price. Because of the smaller screen, hence the name iPad Mini it would have a lowered price than the full size iPad. The iPad mini could be sold at lower price, says Daniel Nations, than the iPod touch. The cheapest iPod touch is priced at $299 at the lowest. Nations says that he thinks it is a possibility that the iPad mini could realistically be priced at $249 which he thinks would destroy the competition. He doesn't expect the iPad to be sold at $199 or $249, but he says that Apple might surprise us with a lower-than-expected price. Daniel Nations says some interesting points about the iPad Mini's potential pricing


       I think it would be very neat if the iPad Mini was sold for less than the iPod touch...on the iPad Mini side of things. It's cool that apple would be lowering their prices so much. However, this would prove even more that the iPod Touch is over-priced. It currently is far cheaper to make than it is sold for. The iPod touch should be charged much less for. The iPod touch, with less features, is more expensive than Apple's iPhone. I think if they charged $249 for their iPad Mini, they would have to charge less for their iPod touch. Overall, in the article, Daniel brings to light some very intriguing predictions. It will be interesting to see if they come true. I look forward to seeing what the iPad Mini will be priced at.
