Would you prefer a smaller screen?

I think I would like the standard screen to be something like 3cm smaller at the same pixel count. But to do that, it would have to have more refined touch sensitivity system, such that an app like Safari could magnify the link cluster that my finger is over to allow me a chance to correctly target my tap.
Jobs claimed that 10" tablet apps won't work well on a 7" screen.
He didn't say anything against a 7" iPod or book reader.

No
NO, because it sucks for gaming, and doing a lot of things at one time. and opening a low of windows.

Hell no, I have looked at the Samsung Tab and think that it cannot make up its mind what it wants to be - a huge phone or a small computer.
Whereas the iPad (in future generations) will be (I feel) a fully functioning computer, and I think Apple have judged the size perfectly, bigger than the iPhone and smaller than a laptop.

Steve Jobs said himself he things 7inch Tablets suck, but that's only until they launch one...
7" with the same resolution will be a far better prospect than the behemoth we had before.
What arguments? My OP was just to see what people here prefer. That is all. No arguments on what is better or even predictions on what is to come. Simple curiosity of general preference was my motivation for this post, that's all
I don't know if I'd necessarily say I'd prefer a smaller screen, but I'd seriously look at one if it came along.
I'd call the iPad's current screen resolution the minimum that is worth trying to do any sort of work with - so if they shrunk a version of the iPad down to 7in, I'd consider how much more convenient/ portable the size would make it.
It would certainly need to be able to work with a pointy stylus.

That's cause you are a newbie. Search is your friend. I started a thread on this same topic a year ago and took heat then for suggesting that a smaller size might be a nice option.
