We still don’t know what it will be called (we will by tonight), but the so-called iPad mini is already quite visible…

…thanks to videos such as this, possibly upped by a case-maker, and using what appears to be a legit iPad mini dummy unit, the kind that you see in stores as a stand-in for the real thing.

So yes it’s obviously not an Apple ad, although whoever made it tries to make it look like one (and fails).

But what’s interesting is that whoever made it seems to have possession of a legit dummy unit. Notice how the display never changes, although the casing has that trademark Apple aluminum finish. And yes, access to what appears to be a legit iPad mini leather case.
