Apple holds press event in San Jose, California
Apple is expected to announce a new product at a press event in San Jose, California.

Why does so much information leak about Apple products before the big reveal? A new article from Ars Technica tackles this issue, blaming everything from employees in the supply chain to employees at Apple to working in a global market.
On a related note, leaks might be to blame for all the bugs you initially get when a new operating system or device rolls out. An employee tells Ars Technica that only a handful of people are authorized to take prototype devices off Apple's campus for testing in a real-world environment. "That's really disturbing for something you're about to ship millions of," the employee told the publication.
Likely, things tightened up at Apple following the infamous "left a prototype iPhone 4 at a San Francisco-area bar" incident (that phone landed in the hands of Gizmodo). -

Apple set to unwrap mini-iPad to take on Amazon, Google
Apple Inc is expected to make its biggest product move on Tuesday since debuting the iPad two years ago, launching a smaller, cheaper tablet into a market staked out by Amazon.com Inc and Google Inc.
Apple hopes to beat back their charge onto its home turf of consumer electronics hardware, while safeguarding its lead in the larger 10-inch tablet space that even deep-pocketed rivals like Samsung Electronics have found tough to penetrate.
Amazon's Kindle and Google's Nexus 7 have grabbed a chunk of the lower end of the tablet market and proved demand for a pocket-sized slate exists. That has forced Apple into a space it has avoided and at times derided, analysts say.
A smaller tablet would mark the first device to be added to Apple's compact portfolio under Chief Executive Tim Cook, who took over from co-founder Steve Jobs just before his death.
