Thanks LJ Sellers for pointing out this rumor. I'm not complaining about the thread, just opining that speculation when it comes to Apple is often wrong.

Apple does a lot of research, so there is probably *some* basis for these rumors. Even if Apple has no intent of producing a 7" tablet, they may have done a mockup of a 7" tablet, or priced components, or done preliminary market research, or disassembled competing tablets.

I'd agree on 10" bit if one adds "desktop replacement tablet".

PS
Just ordered Galaxy Tab (3G version). Price and lack of expansion slots is outrageous, but I was blown away by its amazing screen.
