I dunno. Did you hear Jobs rant on about 7in tablets @ the Apple financial conf. call a few week ago. He did not sound like a scared man.

Moreover, the problem any Android tab is going to have is that manufacturers are 1) able to incorporate one of many version and 2) modify them at free will. That means not every Android app will work w/ ever Android device. That is a prob. for users and developers alike.

Droid=Google!

James Cameron and Google CEO: Questioning Warming Science is “Criminal”

Continuing to support Droid is supporting the idea that those of us who believe Global Warming is junk - are criminals.

7 inch tablets have been in the US for years now.

I have a Gigabyte M704. It runs XP. It’s five years old.

Apple knows that a mere 7 inches is just not going to satisfy its customers!

It would be brain-dead easy for Apple to scale the iPad down to 7” — smaller screen, remove one of the batteries, smaller case, and they’re done. If Jobs isn’t making one, it’s not because he’s scared of the competition, it’s because he doesn’t think they are any good.
