A new report from Guardian says the iPad mini will only come in a Wi-Fi version.

Apple's expected "iPad mini" will only come in a Wi-Fi version – but there will also be a revised version of the iPad with 4G connectivity compatible with the UK's Everything Everywhere network, and sporting the new "Lightning" connector, industry sources have told the Guardian.

Previous reports have suggested that the iPad mini will feature cellular connectivity. Physical mockups being sold in China have a SIM card slot on the left side of the device.

The Guardian also says its sources expect an imminent announcement of the iPad mini, with retail sources anticipating new products in November.

I'm so glad with my iPad 3 64Gb with a sim and I think that the only reason they are coming out with the mini is to take out the cheaper android devices in the market so to do that it can't be a real iPad just a big iPod to keep the price down.

Just use a CLEAR Device from clear.com and you can connect up to 8 devices at once. The Clear Voyager Device can be carried with you in a small tiny pocket. Only pay $50 per month with Unlimited data and voice and Internet. I have it and I'm in love with it. I left AT&T and I'm glad I did. I use Skype with a online $30 per Year number to make my calls when I need to call anyone or receive a voice message.

If the iPod Touch came with 3G or LTE, I'd consider getting rid of my iPhone and use VoIP apps exclusively like you have. It's not as dependable, but I am not really dependent on the phone part of my iPhone any more.
