Apple likely to unveil iPad mini on October 23, claims report

Another week. Another launch date for the iPad mini. According to AllThingsD, Apple is likely to unveil the iPad mini at a special event to be held on October 23.

Earlier this month, a report in Fortune had indicated that Apple will launch the iPad mini at an event to be held on October 17, invitations for which will be sent by October 10. The date came and went and, as you're aware, no one received any invitations. This led to speculation by some if the launch had been delayed due to supply constraints. This report from AllThingsD should put a halt to those speculations:
People familiar with Apple's plans tell us that the company will unveil the so-called "iPad mini" on October 23 at an invitation-only event.

The October 23 launch date is in line with AllThingsD's earlier report which had indicated an October launch for the tablet:
Only after the next-generation iPhone is out the door and on sale will Apple announce the smaller iPad it's been working on.

That device, which is expected to have a display of less than eight inches (20 centimetres), will be uncrated at a second special event, which sources say is currently scheduled for October.
AllThingsD goes on to note that October 23 is on a Tuesday, though typically Apple launch events are held on Wednesdays. It also speculates that Apple might hold a smaller event at a venue closer home, like its own Town Hall Auditorium.

Update: It's as official as it's going to be until Apple actually sends out the invitations - noted Apple pundit Jim Dalrymple, who has a spotless record with these things, has given his thumbs-up to the AllThingsD report with a trademark "Yep".
