The AIR Mini 32 is priced at $99.99. See the M-Audio site for more info.
WHAT? I tried one in 2012!
Yeah, this confused me as well; isn’t this the same product as the one that’s been in stores for well over a year? The image for this news post is even almost identical to the one from summer NAMM in 2012: https://www.synthtopia.com/content/2012/07/11/m-audio-intros-axiom-a-i-r-midi-controllers-at-2012-summer-namm-show/
It’s on M-Audio’s new for NAMM 2014 list:

Sometimes companies will announce a product as new at NAMM if it was actually released in the last year.
Ah, alright. Thanks for clearing that up, I suppose. It still confuses me a bit when two-year-old products pop up again at NAMM.
I hate how I always have to search these sites to find out if it has midi out, like real midi out not just USB.
minikeys noooooooooo
I like it but shame about the lack of mod/pitch wheels, just some lame buttons. Also, no information about USB power on an iOS device which is a must for any mini controller in 2014.
I have one!!!
I got it in January 2013, i like it so much and i got FREE software from AIR Ignite, wich is great!!!
