Of course. But how many of those crazy limited-appeal products became Apple products?

Exactly.

I'm not saying this is the most ridiculous idea I've ever heard, or anything. I've had worse ideas! But it does seem like a sort of half-assed idea. If Apple ever does make a smaller iPad, I think it will be different than the 7.85"/1024*768/"runs existing apps shrunk-down" concept people are talking about now, and they'll have to solve the keyboard problem somehow (or else refocus the product as something less than a general use tablet that still has mass appeal).

and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong
