iPad Mini in hot demand in China -- analyst

Apple's iPad Mini is creating a frenzy among Chinese tablet buyers, according to Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White.
Checks of retailers in China and Hong Kong show "an insatiable appetite" for the Mini, leading to a supply shortage, White said in an investors note out today. Stores in China are out of stock, while those in Hong Kong are sold out of nearly all flavors of the 7-inch tablet.
The iPad Mini is proving much more popular in China and Hong Kong than its bigger 4th-generation brother, which remains in stock.
