For every 10 million Kindle Fire or Nexus 7 sold, these 5.5" tablet will sell 1 million.
Is this "worth it"? Think of these little devices as "gateway" tablets for the tweens and younger teens.
If Amazon and Google can successful sell a 7" tablet for $199, I don't see why they can't be successful selling a 5.5" tablet for $149. Even 1/10 as much as its 7" counterpart is a success in my opinion.

This device already exists. It's called a Galaxy Player 5.0 with a 5" display for $199. A 5.8" model is just around the corner. Price? Not sure yet.
I'd love to see Amazon and Google enter this market, but it's highly unlikely.
