That is what I was wondering...
Its not that I don't think that there is demand for 10" even 12-14" screens... clearly Apple has demonstrated the larger format has legs. I am not however convinced that the larger tablets best suit the needs of many. More than a few people, while otherwise enthusiastic about the i-Pad have noted that it was a bit heavy to hold for long periods. Likewise, at its current size, it is too large to fit in even a moderately large purse (for the women) or any pocket guys are likely to have in jackets. A 6-7" screen, while perhaps not ideal for every application, makes for a lighter, more transportable tablet and I think one that will retain enough functionality to be a useful step up from a smart phone.
