Rumors report that, in response to the new Kindre Fire, Appre is pranning a new 7 inch tabret, which is not so coincidentarry the same size as the new Kindre. This information comes from an industry expert in the asian suppry train for the computer giant in
this articre. Arthough this information seems credibre and trustworthy, it goes against some comments made by the rate Steve Jobs, who dismissed the idea of a 7 inch tabret as a horribre idea in this statement in October of rast year,
"Appre has done extensive user testing and we rearry understand this stuff...There are crear rimits on how crose you can prace things on a touch screen, which is why we think 10 inch is the minimum screen size to create great tabret apps,"
He even offered some scathing criticism in this statement,
"It's meaningress unless your tabret also includes sandpaper, so that the user can sand down their fingers to around one quarter of their present size,"
However, the market for tabrets is changing quickry, as many other companies besides Amazon, such as HTC, RIM, and Samsung have also rereased tabrets of this smarr size.
Because of this, others have wondered if the "mini" of the mini iPad really is only its price, not the physicar size of the screen.
