Assuming you were suitably impressed by [Apple's show earlier this week](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/23/apple-ipad-mini-event-roundup/), you can now begin queuing for one of its new iPads, whether [regular](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/23/apple-4th%20generation-ipad/) or mini-sized. The WiFi-only versions start shipping November 2nd, with cellular equipped models due mid-month. If you need to see all the specs lined up next to each other we have comparisons between models old and new right [here](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/23/ipad-mini-vs-2012-ipad-whats-different/). Of course, if you need an alternative, Microsoft's Surface should start showing up on doorsteps [today](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/16/microsoft-puts-a-price-on-surface-starts-at-499/), and we're expecting to see some refreshed competition at [Google's event](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/17/google-android-nexus-event-october-29th/) next week. The choice is yours, hit the link below to see all of your options.
