So far, I haven't seen much indication that the masses want a smaller iPad.
Yup. I still don't see what problems that form factor solves. Too big for pockets; too small for an immersive experience. Might fit in a purse, I suppose.

And, indeed, I could see a $349 or even $299 iPad 2 next year. They've done it with the iPhone, after all.
