Still waiting for all those alleged iPad mini leaks to culminate into something official? Why not take one more while you wait: according to a proven source of Mobile Geeks, German electronics retailer Media Markt has the iPad mini in 16 flavors in its inventory system. The company's internal documentation shows the rumored tablet at 8, 16, 32 and 64GB configurations, with each offering a choice of black or white, as well as a choice of 3G or just WiFi. The retailer is listing sticker prices, too: for the WiFi-only flavor, €249 buys an 8GB model, €349 snags 16GB, €449 for 32GB and €549 scores 64GB of storage. Looking for a slab with cellular connectivity? Stack an extra €100 on each of those prices.

The listing doesn't have anything official to say about US greenbacks, but the included 19% tax evens up the dollar and euro quite nicely, giving us a reasonable idea what kind of pricing we can expect to see in the states. To put things into perspective, this would be a $150 savings on the 16GB WiFi model when compared to the full sized $499 slate Apple currently offers. Of course, this is all counting on Cupertino making the device official. We'll let you know if we hear anything.

These prices are most likely the same as the US prices would be as that's how it usually works. So $249 for the 8GB base model? That will be a HIT considering the new iPod Touch is $50 more, even if it has 8GB more memory. Apple is coming for tablet domination once again

The iPad Mini would be the 7" version of the iPad... a tablet... an iPod Touch is a music player

Apple's internal prices aren't set yet. These are fake. Prices will be competitive tho.

What? That's what every company does. One larger 10" tablet and one smaller 7" tablet

How can you know that?

this is a solid source and it would make sense for prices to be set when it's rumored to be announced this month.
