- After Steve Jobs, a 7-inch iPad? …
Just as Google releases a 7-inch tablet that the techies actually like, the rumor mill has resurrected that old Apple seven inch tablet rumor, making Steve Jobs' nightmare of a smaller iPad seem
more likely now than ever. It feels like some kind of sign that the
same day noted Apple-phile David Pogue lauds the smaller Google tablet,
calling it a "Rival to the Tablet Leader," The Wall Street Journal's Lorraine Luk cites mysterious
sources who say (again) that Apple
has told its Foxconn workers to prepare for a 7-inch tablet. Of course,
we know by now that Apple rumors, even from the most prestigious of
sources, are never ever to be taken as facts, but considering the fact
that Google just released a cheap, small tablet that, unlike the Kindle
Fire, doesn't feel chintzy, it makes sense Apple would want to put out a
smaller version of its groundbreaking device. That is, minus one big
thing: Steve Jobs would not approve. Then again, Steve Jobs isn't around to disapprove. And, well, things are different around Apple these days.
