What's left is a 7" screen...too small. There are clear limits to how close elements can be on the screen before users can't touch accurately. We believe 10-inch screen is minimum necessary."
I wholeheartedly agree.
I hope the next iPad bumps the screen size by an inch or inch and a half. Or somebody else comes out with 10"+, but not the 16x9 cheepo screens.
Then finally we'll have a great PDF reader

Yeah well... Steve Jobs, for years, pooh-poohed the idea that Apple would ever deign to release a tablet - went so far as to call proponents crazy. Today, the iPad is one if Apple's hottest products. So I always assume that the more he denigrates an idea, the harder Apple is working on it.
