Although the chatter regarding the purported iPad Mini has been pretty relentless over the past couple of months, few people - if any - have really suggested how Apple plans to release two products at around the same time.

Having only announced iOS 6 last month at the WWDC event, the Cupertino company is already meandering its way through the betas, and if you've a developer account, you can now download iOS 6 beta 3, linked to at the very foot of this post.
I must confess, when it comes to my iOS devices, I'm a bit of an app fiend, and with 64GB of storage space on my iPhone and iPad, I see no reason to delete anything - even if I don't regularly use an app. As such, I have a few hundred different apps and games on each, and although I have a rough idea of which I utilize the most, there's no way of keeping an accurate record of which I use, and for how long.
