Gizmodo shows how an iPad mini could look

Fellow technology blog Gizmodo has commissioned some mockups of what Apple's rumoured iPad Mini could look like. As has been rumoured for a long time now, Apple will soon announce a smaller, 7.85 inch iPad in order to compete with the wave of newer, cheaper tablets such as Amazon's Kindle Fire and the Nexus 7.

The tablet is also rumoured to come with a brand new, reduced size dock connector. This would mark a major change from the current 30 pin Dock Connector, which has been a staple on Apple devices for over 10 years now, but the change would allow future device to become slimmer and less bulky.

But what would such a device look like? Well Giz has commisioned some renders from designer Nickolay Lamm. The result? Well it looks like a smaller iPad.

Check out the rest of the images below, what do you think of the rumours?
