I am sure many will love this, but I think like a patio, a tablet must be a minimum size to get any real use by the average Joe. I think a ten inch screen is the smallest that will offer any practical use for the average person.

With most smartphones doing everything a tablet can and then some, the double sized screen doesn't do enough to overcome the redundancies of capabilities.

I would be much more intrigued If google can get to market with a 10 inch tablet at $200 or less.

That... may be too little, too late.
The original Fire took up 22% of the android tablet market in barely 6 months--give the FireHD9 and NookHD+ a whole year and they just might carve up the 9-10in Android tablet market between the two.
Google had better have an answer by CES 2013, at the latest, if they want a say in the larger Android tablet market; otherwise the forked ecosystems will run away unchallenged.
Better a Nexus 9 at $299 in 2012 than $199 in 2013.
Time is the pressing factor now.

Not everyone wants a 10in. I returned an iPad I got as a gift. It's too big for me to carry in most of my purses.

Yes, when it comes to portability, 7" is the sweet spot.

Would that be 7 inches square? That is one remarkable female, completely out of my league.

Sure hope so. If they price the 32GB at $249, I'll probably get it.
