New iPad model/pricing possibility?

[Goldinboy17]

I just bought a NookColor and I have to say I'm rather impressed. It's the perfect size and runs fairly smoothly. It lacks the apps but B&A said they'd release a limited App store, that'll do I guess. Anyways, does anyone think Apple may release a similarly sized model of the iPad next year, maybe with a comparable price ($300-$400)? I'd prefer an iPad but the current ones are too big and the price just doesn't seem worth it for an item I'd be using primarily as an e-reader. Anyone think this is a possibility or am I in the clouds?

Steve Jobs basically killed the idea of a 7-inch iPad recently. As for price, I hope it comes down.

What a shame. A 7 inch iPad would have been perfect. Guess I'll stick with my Nook.

While yes a smaller one might be nice I also see that you actually lose a lot of screen, therefore I will stay liking the current size for now. One thing I think that would be good to shrink is that big black bezel. I must say that I do not like that.
