Makes perfect sense to me, and I'm not surprised. I would imagine the $$$ & engineering involved in designing a smaller 7-inch iPad would be a fraction of what is likely to be involved in designing a larger format iMag. With a 7 inch iPad we are essentially dealing with interpolating between two already well established engineering parameters (iPad & iPod), versus extrapolating on a new 12+ inch "iMag" technology. I would imagine the technological adventures involved in eExtrapolating always tends to be both riskier and costlier than the kinds involved in simply interpolating. Go for what's cheaper to build first! It's a cinch! The iMag will come soon enough. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
