Hi, I for one am taking this with a grain of salt, and don't believe a 7" iPad will be launched right now. If it is, however, I'll eat my words. I just don't see the point in one, since it will most likely cause app devs more problems than it's worth to most likely rescale their existing apps to fit on a screen that's 2 inches smaller.

I can see many uses for a device of this size. Bigger than an iPod/iPhone, but smaller than the large iPad. This would be perfect for me and my kids when traveling to watch movies or play games on the road. Plus I know my 7 year old boy would be so happy I'd have to wipe the drool off. -- Raul A.

But, I'm starting to think that a 7 inch iPad would eventually turn into an iPod touch killer. IMO, The iPod touch has pretty much run its course. Its pretty much the alternative for those who don't want to buy an iPhone and be a slave to a contract. But now, iPhones are being offered on pre payed wireless carriers in the U.S. like cricket and virgin mobile. This really changes the game for the touch. Now, being a entertainment consumption device, I figure the majority would appreciate the large screen of an 7 inch iPad not to mentioned its cellular connectivity. Something I think that would have never would have come to the iPod touch. > > Ricardo Walker > rica...@appletothecore.info > Twitter:@apple2thecore > www.appletothecore.info > > On Jul 10, 2012, at 8:57 AM, Blinkin <m...@howtobeblind.com> wrote: > >> Honestly I don't really get the point of a 7 inch iPad.
