iPad mini will look like a large iPod touch with smaller side bezels Gallery

We received a number of tips over the last few weeks from sources that we have reason to believe hold knowledge about Apple’s plans on the upcoming iPad mini. A recurring theme of late is that the iPad mini will “look like a big iPod touch” with smaller bezels along the sides in portrait mode and separate volume buttons and not a “rocker” and a mic on the back.
 
In addition, we received a number of differentiPad mini back plates with the best quality being these from case maker Devicewear.



We were not confident enough to post the above information alone (but did make the atop mockup), but the very reliable John Gruber chimes in today with many of the same bits of information.



Here is a gallery of all the iPad mini images and mockups we have obtained to date:
