My personal favorite: Steve Jobs Says 7-Inch Tablets Are ‘Dead on Arrival’... Apparently, these devices are too small for a pleasant touchscreen experience.
I typed this from my 3.5 inch iPhone.
- wvenable 16y agoTo be fair, an iPhone fits in your pocket.
- chc 16y agoHe said it's too small for an experience like you get on the iPad. And sure enough, apps on the iPhone are much more simplistic than apps on the iPad.
- cromulent 16y agoYes. “7-inch tablets are tweeners: too big to compete with a smartphone and too small to compete with the iPad,” is what he said.
- gscott 16y agoLikely Steve Jobs has a 7" iPad prototype on his desk now... He can throw out a few remarks to try to stear people away from that size until Apple has that size in the market.
- kenjackson 16y agoNobody reads anymore... not until the iPad came out with an eReader... now reading is magical! Steve Jobs is an absolute marketing genius. He's not exactly an unbiased observer.

- zmmmmm 16y agoHe also said they should include sand paper so that people could file down their finger tips to use 7 inch devices. So how on earth a 7 inch device isn't usable but a 3.5 inch one is I don't know.
