The ever-well informed John Gruber of Daring Fireball fame has published a new piece wherein he tries to answer and raises a few questions of his own, regarding the much-rumored 7.85-inch “iPad Mini”.

He nails down many of the questions I had, while offering the best answer possible with the information we have at this time.
