AppleInsider reports today that prior to the expected iPad mini launch, retailers and accessory manufacturers have been preparing themselves for the onslaught. AppleInsider says that it has received images from a retailer that tell the retailer’s employees how to assemble a display stand for iPad mini accessories. The sources that leaked the instructions to AppleInsider said that the pages had the label “Amazon/Apple Tablet Display Parts List”, and were in a box that had a note attached to it telling the store employees not to look in the box! Oops! The source said that the papers fell out of the box. Of course they did! This latest discovery follows on from another story on AppleInsider, sourced from ilikeApple.pt, which says that a newly leaked product list reveals that accessory makers such as Belkin, Kensington and Trust have a plethora of iPad mini cases ready to hit the stores once the new tablet is released in November.
