I’m with Jobs on this one.

I wish they’d make a bigger iPhone.

"The reason we wouldn't make a 7-inch tablet isn't because we don't want to hit a price point, it's because we don't think you can make a great tablet with a 7-inch screen," Jobs said. "The 7-inch tablets are tweeners, too big to compete with a smartphone and too small to compete with an iPad."

I love my kindle fire. And yes price had a lot to do with why I bought it. The other was the ability to fit in the outside pocket of my briefcase. At $200 I can afford something that will be used only for web browsing, music and eBooks. For $700 I could get a full function notebook PC that has a real keyboard and can do a lot more than the iPad can.

Lets face it i just don't put a lot of stock in being cool. My tools need to serve a defined function. The least expensive tool that fills the function is the one I buy. Of course it is that same philosophy that cause me to be a conservative.

I think it is a great idea. They could call it the Rotten Apple.

I agree with Jobs, a smaller Ipad would bite, what they need is a LARGER Ipad!

[Erik Latranyi]

I doubt Apple would sell a 7-inch tablet for $199. I expect $299 at minimum, but I bet they discontinue the iPad2 and price it at $399.

I though Apple already produced a smaller version of the iPad, they call it the iPod Touch.

I can’t get enough of these threads. I wish Free Republic would create a separate topic just for Apple.

Rush was talking about this a few months ago. The smaller iPad would be called a Mini-Pad and the full size would be the Maxi-Pad. har
