I have toyed with the idea of a chording keyboard. Either as an App or as a cover for an iPhone/Android.
(Probably a thousand other people have had this idea, too. So the chording addition probably has been tried -- and don't work well.)
I'd love a smaller iPhone.
On the subject of a mini iPad without a retina display -- why do people care? The mini is probably a boring product to fill a market niche and make it harder for the competition. The (third/)new iPad's good display is so readable that even I can read books. A 7" screen will have problems showing a full size pdf, even if it was retina. There are other use cases like gaming, but... Meh.
- protomyth 14y agoThe 1024 x 768 in a 7" is fine, and one of the big use cases is people with small hands aka children.
- hellweaver666 14y agoI'm actually waiting for a 7" iPad for my son. Have been since my 2 year old son decided my iPad is his favorite toy. He loves the thing, but it's just a bit too bulky for him to use comfortably. I was thinking about getting him a 7" Android tablet but he has so many apps and movies that he loves from the Apple store, he probably wouldn't be interested. We even tried a dedicated "kids" tablet in a shop, after 2 minutes he got so frustrated he threw it down and toddled off to look at the other toys. I think I've raised an Apple fan boy.
