During Apple’s 4th quarter conference call, Steve Jobs stepped in to field some questions and make a few points. His biggest? 7-inch tablets are “useless” and “dead on arrival” no doubt referring to the hundreds of Android tablets in the pipeline and specifically the Samsung Galaxy Tab which is slated to be released on all four US carriers next month.
Jobs said that the 7- inch size actually has half the surface area as an iPad and users won’t enjoy the experience in the same way. It will also run Android.
Whatever the case, Apple clearly isn’t building a seven inch iPad, at least not in the near future.
