Not sure what's funnier...people buying this BS statement from Steve or the irony in that Apple is famous for dissing what competitors are doing and then adopting it later on down the road. Video ipods, copy/paste, hell... half the features that were added in iOS 4.0 were once dissed by Steve.
The irony in his statement is that he's also dissing the iPhone now, but of course he knows the Apple fanatic retards won't notice that. "Too small for apps, eh?" Well, doesn't Apple make a smaller iPad...oh yea, it's called iPhone and iPod. Way to go.
I, for one, was looking forward to a 7" tablet. After playing with a Galaxy S and the iPad, the iPad is just huge to me. You absolutely cannot hold the thing comfortably with one hand (hence why the commercials show people sitting them on their lands) for more than 5-10 minutes without it becoming heavy.
Whereas, the 7" Galaxy is small enough to grip and be comfortable, while at the same time offering a pretty good amount of screen real estate.
His statement doesn't really mean crap if you go by traditional Apple history. At the MOST, it just means we MIGHT not see that option in the near future, but it certainly doesn't mean it's not happening.
