i cant wait for new tablets, im sure they will surpass apples soon, FINALLY, better and cheaper, NO MORE HAVING TO JBKindle Fire Won't Crush Other Android Tablets, May Not Increase iPad Sales Say Other Analysts.
----------
apple like other marketing departments have software to determine the demand, there will be all kinds of screen every where you go in the future, your computer will be your mobile device, the screens will display it, you will not need iCloud to take your computer everywhere with you.It amazes me that so many people think that Apple chose the 3.5" form factor for the iPhone on a whim and kept it as 3.5" with the retina display for fun.
That size was chosen because it was the perfect size where a person with an average sized hand could reach all pixels on the screen while holding it in one hand.
Apple also chose the 9.7-inch display with a 4:3 ratio because it was the best ratio for viewing magazines and it was the right size for typing on for average sized hands.
They are tried different sizes in the lab before arriving on the current form factor.
I highly doubt that we will see a 7" iPad because it just does not seem right and the sales figures of the 7" tablets on the market show what people are buying. The Kindle is not a tablet but a reader that thinks its a tablet.
simple and sound solution .,, use any size any where, apple atm is one size fits all, same with apps
