Apple Reports Q4 2010 Profit of $4.31 Billion on $20.34 Billion Revenue, Best Quarter Ever

I don't think AAPL is going to release a 7" iPad. I'm glad we can put that one away.

If you listening to this live, I think Steve has killed any chance of a 7 inch iPad.

I was just going to post this. I agree, no 7" iPad

He just said a 10" screen is the minimum requirement to create great apps.

7" iPad is totally dead.

Steve has discarded 7" tablets

Steve Jobs is knocking 7" screens. The 7" iPad is not coming. He just said it is not the right size.

Definitely. Sounds more likely that they would do bigger than smaller iPads when listening to Jobs IMO.

Steve’s comments are great!

Customers have to “sand down their fingers!"

 

[jeznav]

Wow, Jobs just said that 7" tablets isn't a good idea.
I guess no 7" iPad.

"Screen sizes are diagonal, so a 7 inch screen is only 44% as large as a 10 inch iPad."

What huh?

Whats with this android fragmentation? What do it have to do with android, google or handset makers bottom line?

Is android really fragmented? And If so, why is it important to state that as fact?

Looks like wednesday is really just gonna be about macs

 

[gnasher729]

It looks like next quarter or at the very latest in the quarter after that Apple will overtake Microsoft in revenue. This year so far it is $62bn for Microsoft and $57bn for Apple.

Wow, Jobs just said that 7" tablets isn't a good idea.
I guess no 7" iPad.

You should know that when Steve Jobs says 7" tablets aren't a good idea, it means they aren't a good idea until the day when Apple releases a 7" iPad

 

[Unspeaked]

Maybe the 7" comment was carefully placed so his "One More Thing" announcement this week will be that much more shocking...

 

[zunairryk]

LOL forget about 7 inch ipad

 

[saving107]

Steve was awesome.

 

[bmms8]

steve really killed it hahah.. that was amazing.

"Google has told tablet makers not to use the latest Android version in tablets. What does it mean when the creator of the OS tells tablet makers NOT to use their software in their tablet, and what does it mean when you ignore them and use it anyway?"

I want them to ask about Wednesday's event

Drat. Oh well, I guess I can live with the 9.7" version. I've played with it several times; it's a well-designed device.

Still, I'll probably wait until next year for the refreshed model.

I want them to ask about Wednesday's event

So you can hear them say, "Drop by on Wednesday"?

Im a noob. Where are you guys listening to him talk?

He mentions that the developer TwitterDeck has to develop so many versions to support all Android phones. This is similar back in the Java .jar based cellphones method of distribution.

Unlike Microsoft Windows version of open, applications can run on any OEM PCs without modification on the software.

Android platform is like trying to run or distribute a linux binary software on many thousands of different Linux distros. The only way to do that is to compile from source.
