It was a surprise to me also. When I checked their website last might, Apple still had "Coming in late November" for the release.

I actually saw a tweet about 11 pm last night (Phoenix time)... and thought "cool... I’ll stay up another hour to see if it’s true"... but I forgot that the time changed earlier in the month, and that meant that Phoenix was was now an hour behind California... so my wait was 2 hours... but I had my iPad Mini/retina ordered within the first 5 minutes and still had time for my beauty sleep.
