Apple's only going to make a smaller iPad if they think that people actually want a smaller iPad, which is not to be confused with just wanting a cheaper iPad. If people just want a cheaper iPad, Apple could just start selling the iPad 2 for $299 next spring, or whatever.
So far, I haven't seen much indication that the masses want a smaller iPad. Cheaper, yes. But smaller? I guess the question would be, if the 7" iPad and 9.7" iPad were the same price, would there still be a lot of people who would choose the 7" iPad? I'm really not sure there would be.
and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong
