    Exactly. Then the 7" factor will be magical. Though I do get what he is trying to say about "sandpaper for a finger"

      It's a simpsons reference re: fat fingers and dialing wands. Hes saying theres not enough room on a 7" for workable sized buttons, but the counterpoint is that it's as big as it is and you go with what fits.

  It seems a bit silly for Jobs to argue that a 3.5 inch mini-tablet is awesome (iPhone) and a 10 inch tablet is also awesome (iPad) but anything in between is just a bad idea.
