According to The Wall Street Journal, component makers in Asia say they have received orders for more than 10 million of the rumored but not yet unannounced iPad mini in the fourth quarter. That is roughly twice what Amazon.com reportedly ordered for the Kindle Fire for the same period.

Previous reports indicated that the smaller tablet is already in production, and it appears that Apple Inc. believes there will be a strong market demand for a smaller, less expensive tablet during the upcoming holiday shopping season.%VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%
