I know. And I'm fully 50/50 on it, honestly. If they do it, great (I know some folks who'll jump on it, day one). If they don't, nobody loses anything and Apple is still Apple. If Apple really wanted to make a statement, then yeah...get that iPad 2 down to the price levels talked about for this mythical 7" iPad.
Nobody would ever want anything else!
Refurb 16GB Wifi-only iPad 2 models go for $349 (new battery and outer shell), so that's really tempting for a lot. It would be nice if that (or $299) was the everyday going price. That would surely kill all talk of a 7". The people who want a 7" for size/price reasons would deal with it and adjust accordingly, I'm sure.
Maybe someday.
