Apple's iPad mini seems to be a smash hit even before it has gone on general sale. Dismissing concerns about underwhelming specifications, and what many believed is an "inflated" price-tag, customers around the globe have pre-ordered the unit in droves.

Apple's online stories in United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Australia and Singapore show the shipping time for the Wi-Fi units as "2 weeks", instead of "November 2" when the iPad mini went up for pre-order.
