This week, Apple sent out invitations for an event that will be held on October 23 at the Teatro San Jose, California. This time he chose the usual Yerba Buena Center, even the Moscone Center, have chosen a place that had never hacho introduced.
Seems pretty clear that during this event, Apple will introduce a new version of the iPad. An iPad with a smaller screen and some features that are not yet confirmed, but which have already been made many assumptions based on hearsay. It is expected that the device is called iPad Mini and Apple started marketing the Nov. 2, at least that's what sources say different.
Now, new sources confirm this date as a likely release date. For example TechCrunch has posted they have heard: "We will send a week and a half after the presentation."
9to5mac also mentions they have heard rumors of the November 2 release date as possible. Specifically they say:
We have heard rumors of November 2 as the date for "liberation" of iPad Mini, but can not confirm. The date makes sense.
9to5Mac @9to5mac We've heard whispers of Nov. 2 iPad Mini release date but nothing confirmed. Date makes sense (Friday) and we know stock is ramping

The German blog iFun, also adds to these rumors and say that an anonymous seller of products Apple has confirmed the availability of the iPad Mini for this date. From iMore, mentioned that this date would make much sense. Rene Ritchie wrote:
On November 2 makes sense. Is Friday the week following the event, which was the day chosen by Apple for the launch of products in recent years. In addition, this date would be ideal for Apple arrives in time for the holidays, a period of strong sales.
iDannyOcean, Twitter also mentions an important fact: "Apple is increasing the allocation of hours to staff retail for this week."
Rene Ritchie @reneritchie 19 oct 12 @JakeOSmith I don’t think retailers know anything about it yet, like usual.
Danny Ocean @iDannyOcean @reneritchie @JakeOSmith Apple ramping up retail staff hour allotments for that week...

Beyond that, it is also very important to note that on November 2 is a date that makes sense, as this time Apple would sell their product for black Friday. A day of sales in the U.S. where the consumption of any product soars, thanks to rebates making establishments.
Analysts have already done the math and believe that if Apple product launches on November 2, may sell 5 million units of iPad Mini in the quarter ending in December, although these sales cannibalize around 20% of sales of the iPad Current. Apple seems to be a bit more optimistic, since according to the Wall Street Journal, the company has ordered its manufacturers in China twice the amount, ie 10 million units.
In addition, analysts have also said that Apple will discontinue the iPad 2 in order to simplify the product purchase options and avoid "confusing" to the consumer.
