They'll wait to see how well the Google tablet sells. If it sells really well, I expect a 7" version from Apple. Otherwise, there's not much point in doing it.

Why would they do that? Do you have any examples where Apple have done that?

The iPad already dominates the tablet market now, but with a 7-inch iPad they'll have a stranglehold on it.
The 7-inch iPad would be almost exclusively for media consumption, while the 10-inch iPad would be the "all-purpose" tablet.
It seems that every quarter the iPad has year-over-year growth in the triple digits. I could see Apple selling 70-80 million iPads this year.

Nah. Steve Jobs said the OEM's would abandon 7" designs ang go 10" abandoning consumers. WRONG AGAIN STEVE.
7" tablets DOA. WRONG AGAIN STEVE.
I don't see Apple going smaller. Oh wait, didn't he criticize 4" phones too? 30%+ of the phones sold now are 4" and larger. Didn't Samsung state they sold over 5m Galaxy SNotes.
Looks like Stevo is Dumbo.
Since iPod Touch sales have dropped Bec iPad sales are cannibalizing there own kind, Apple may go slightly bigger in hopes the sales pick back up.
Steve are u watching from that deep dark pit? How many times have you been wrong. I am gladTim Cook isn't exactly like u.

I believe Samsung sold over 7mm Notes. I happen to own a SNote myself, as well as a Galaxy Nexus. I swap the SIM card between the two. The SNote is easily the best phone I've ever used. Weird at first. And I thought it was insane the first few times I saw it. It grew on me very quickly.

Still a fan of the 7" size. Just hands down easier to read a book on a light device of that size. I like the iBook application on iOS over all competing ebook apps, but what dogs the iPad is the size and weight. I always end up picking up a 7" tablet for actual book reading. I hardly use the iPad right now. I've been using a 7" Galaxy Note 2 for the most part. Once I threw it in my bag I started reading a book on it, and that means I'll likely just keep using it until I'm done reading the book at least.

You should get a grip on your Jobs fascination. He was often wrong, and he often said things that seemed to be intended to divert the competition.
Sometimes Apple seems to bend to consumer demand, but the often don't. I read complaints for years that they should make a mid-tower Mac, or that they should have a Blu-Ray drive. Neither happened, in fact, instead of offering a BD drive on their laptops they're eliminating disk drives. Instead of offering a mid-tower Mac they came out with the Mac Mini. It's possible, but I don't think we'll ever see a 7" iPad, but they might do something like a larger version of the iPod. They are basically the same thing, but that would allow them to say still don't think a 7" tablet is a viable option.

You're assuming Google or Kindle did.. Remembering back to the days of Newtons, Windows CE and Palm..

So using Apple's logic, shouldn't everyone with a 7" tablet already sue Apple for copyright infringement?

If they can figure out a way to patent it, I suppose so.

No.
If I dispute one single point in a post, that should not be taken as an indication that I agree/disagree with any other point made by that poster or anyone else in the thread. Or anywhere else. Ever.

wait you mean the current iPad isnt just for media consuption? Im not being fanboyistic here (don't own any tablet of any kind) but in all sincerity the current iPad is nothing more than an entertainment device. I know there are apps that allow you to do things like type stuff up but there is no "get-work-done" application built into the iPad.

The constant reports "confirming" this speculation of an iPad Mini is very irresponsible reporting. Amazon cannot even make a per unit profit on each Kindle Fire, yet the quality is nowhere near that of Apple products. Not to mention the fact that Fire sales have dropped dramatically in the last few months. It is a stagnant market. I'm sure Apple is just jumping for joy at the idea of selling a 7" iPad at $200 that cost $205 to make. Why sell 10" iPads at 48% profit margins when you can sell 7" iPads at negative profit margins just like Amazon. This surely cannot fail. And this surely is what Apple is up to. They always get into low-end markets like this, they certainly aren't a premium brand or anything. Oh wait, that's completely inaccurate. In fact, in Apple's history, the ONLY low-end markets they enter is a market where they can still maintain high (50%+) margins. Examples: iPod Nano (50% margins), first iPod Shuffle (72% margins, yes really). This rumor is highly unlikely (based on simple economics alone), yet websites keep reporting it like it has 100% chance of happening... very disappointing.

I think it's an extension of whatever the owner needs it to be. There are many applications to choose from. There are a lot of games, yes. There are also a lot of productivity applications. Why couldn't it be used for those functions just as easily as it could be for games?

If Apple does this you can bet they will want to upload their higher margins. Likely be in the $349 range. When has Apple ever sold anything for cost?

Strange—I get quite a lot of work done on mine on a daily basis. Perhaps I'm using it wrong.
