 It's Friday, October 12th, 2012. I'm David Pierce, and according to sources familiar with the matter, speaking on condition of anonymity due to their relation to the production, this is 90 Seconds on the Verge. AllThingsD reports that Apple will hold an event on October 23rd to announce the much-rumored iPad mini. Recent whispers seem to be in agreement that the new tablet will have a 7.85-inch screen, Apple's new lightning connector, and an ultra-thin design. AllThingsD's sources declined to say where the event will be held, but Apple has historically chosen either the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco or its own headquarters in Cupertino. Speaking of rumors, the yet-to-be-announced LG Nexus already has its first review. According to Belarusian blog Onliner, the 4.7-inch prototype is fairly reminiscent of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Some things to note, though. There's just 8GB of internal storage with no options to expand, and a non-removable battery. The phone has a new version of Android Jelly Bean, but it's rather buggy. No surprise, of course, since technically this device doesn't exist yet. Bear in mind, it's still not confirmed whether this is even the next Nexus device. At any rate, rumors suggest an October 29th announcement followed by a mid-November release. And now for the rumor trifecta. The HTC Windows Phone 8X will be available on T-Mobile starting November 14th. That's according to a leaked roadmap obtained by T-Mobile News. Nokia's own flagship, the Lumia 920, has been rumored to launch November 2nd. We expect firm release dates for these phones and more at Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 event on October 29th. Yeah, that's the same day as the rumored Google event. Not a coincidence. And that's it for today's top stories. Tune in tomorrow for less whispers, more facts, and all David all the time.
