Makes perfect sense to me. I never understood the 7". The only advantage I could see is cost - or maybe women being able to stick it in their purse. Apple likes to keep it simple. A lot of the success of the iPhone has been that there was only 1 phone where windows mobile allowed manufacturers to makes phones with a dozen or so different resolutions and aspect ratios - I can only imagine how much of a pain that was for WinMobile developers.

working around a bunch of software greeks you learn from talking to them about the ipad and it basic software to run the ipad and they think Steve Jobs is a god along with talking them about the software that apple use to run a ipad or iphone or ipod is that it design to be simple and smooth to work with..
plus a office pool that apple would not bring out a 7.inch before next year Xmas ..the pool is about $.1000.oo dollars and it was payed out this afternoon ..myself and three other guys where the winners ..:D:D:):D:D

they are some of the worst gamblers in there life when it comes to betting on some of the sports teams ..but when it comes to the betting on apple most of them will not bet againest apple on some of the basic ideas of apple does everything for a reason .
how we won was we where betting againest the installers of the company ..so i picked the greeks over the installers in the pool and walked away with just over .$.1100.oo dollars in my hand before giveing the standard 100.oo to 200.oo dollars to local group that we all support ..
the basic bet was when do you think steve job was going to comfirm or tell everyone when the 7.inchs ipad was going to come out ..each person put a $.100.oo dollars in the pot at the time of the pot it was at little over $.4400.oo dollars in the pot from eveyone from the cleaning lady to the front desk secretary who got into the pool..
we have a gambleing pools in the diff areas in our office pools for as longer your in the business of working as software engineers and installer personal you find that most of the people have a stange sense of humor when it comes to life and can not really work around other people in a normal sense and this type of work seams to suit them very well in life and we do like to bet on some of the stange things in one life..
when your kid time and hour of the day they are going to born on
the guy or girl is going to be fired that day for something that they messed up
how many times the new person get lost trying to find the building that we are working in ..
the guy get the phone call from the wife about talking to the boss about getting back to a normal set of hours so they could have a socalled normal 9 to 5 workday life ..
I think that people tend to forget that the 7-inch was a prediction in the media.
Why 7? My guess is that companies wanted Apple to perform in a more realistic form factor for their sub-par products.
Apple overshot, scaled software to experience, and cut cost by eating price by app purchases. If I had a company that was attempting to perform in that market, you bet your bottom dollar that I would try to reverse Apple into a cul-de-sac.
It makes sense. Magical sense.
