Then you have this:

I was saying that they would have the same perspective on making something between an iPhone and an iPad.
Everyone has points as to why a 7" iPad would bring about seemingly conflicts.

Yes Jobs said so and so. --but time has passed, and Jobs changed his mind occasionally as well.
Yes a $499 or even a $450 7" iPad would have to have a pricing explanation. -- ("simply we don't expect the volume of the most wonderful and heavenly magical 9.7" iPad".)
Yes, there might be competition with the 9.7" iPad or the iPod or the iPhone, but we will still make out profit if not more at $499 or even $450.

The BIGGIE point for doing it is that those upstart despicable turf busting and patent violating DROID companies are stealing some of our thunder in the 7" market. -- Set the Fab Factories and the Foundries to work. We will show those upstarts who the King of the Range is! COMPETITION!.
