You know what's even more disturbing? Now Apple apparently indicate that Steve was involved in designing an iPhone with a screen larger than 3.5". I have a feeling that for the next few years Apple will hint that Steve was involved in every thing they release, just to keep their products mystical and "blessed by Steve". Obviously, although Steve said that 7" tablets were DOA, when Apple release a 7", they will say that Steve was closely involved on the design. They should give the man a break and let him rest in peace.
Many people have sworn by the 3.5" iPhone with "it's the right size for your hand" and all that stuff, but you want to bet they'll be the first to queue for the larger iPhone?

Apple, based in Cupertino, California, has placed orders from suppliers in Asia for screens that are bigger than the 3.5- inch size now on the smartphone, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans aren’t public. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs had worked closely on the redesigned phone before his death in October, one person said.
