Their answer so far has been to simply say they are putting out something superior to a 7" tablet -- almost denying they are now playing in the same market as the Nexus 7 and Kindle tablets. They haven't really addressed Jobs' initial concerns which went well beyond the area needed for a touch target ...

"There are clear limits of how close you can place physical elements on a touch screen, before users cannot reliably tap, flick or pinch them. This is one of the key reasons we think the 10-inch screen size is the minimum size required to create great tablet apps." --Jobs

IOW, Apple simply capitulated to the marketplace by making the Mini and are now glossing over what was stated in the past by Jobs.
