There Is not a 7-Inch iPad [Blockquote]

In a withering rant on emerging rival tablets like Samsung’s Galaxy Tab, Steve Jobs basically confirmed there isn’t a seven-inch iPad. It’s too small.

He explains that the screen size of the seven-inch tablets coming out is actually just around half of a ten-inch tablet, which isn’t adequate for them. ” This size isn’t sufficient to create great tablet apps, in our opinion. While you will increase the resolution of the display to make up for many of the difference, it’s meaningless unless your tablet also includes sandpaper, so that the user can sand down their fingers to around one quarter of their present size.”

That explains why the mysterious seven-inch iPad never made it past the prototype stage. ” We don’t think you may make an awesome tablet with a seven-inch screen” because it may’t express the software all right. Steve says that Apple thinks a ” 10-inch screen is [the] minimum.” That said, he’s still pretty up on tablets themselves: ” We’ve got a tiger by the tail here. It is a new model of computing.”
