The reason people by 7" tablets is because they're cheaper, not because they are more portable. They aren't. You need some kind of bag to carry both. As soon as you go from "pocketable" to "need a bag", the portability issue is moot.

Make a 10" iPad at the same price point as a 7" tablet, and I guarantee 99% of the market would opt for the bigger one.
