A rumor from The Wall Street Journal supposedly shows Apple may be in the process of manufacturing mass quantities of the iPad Mini.

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.

The Wall Street Journal has also mentioned that the iPad mini will use a 7.85″ screen with a lower screen resolution than the current 3rd Generation iPad.  As most of us know this product is aimed to cater towards the market that Google and Amazon have taped into with their Google Nexus 7 and Kindle/Kindle Fire. With production already started we may see this as early as this month but for now we’ll have to wait and see!
