I want functionality not a toy. 7" is too small.
Apple 7in iPad not out until Q3 2012
Keenly hoping Apple will bring out the 7in iPad of rumours past? You'll get your wish next year, apparently. To be precise, it'll be a 7.85in job, Chinese supply chain chat maintains, but it won't be out until Q3 2012 at the earliest, DigiTimes jotted down today.

I'm assuming you're being genuine and not trolling...

No, it's not fragmentation, IMO - so long as the screen res remains the same, it's fine, so if we have one screen res for iPhone 4, 4S, (hypothetical) 5, which are all exactly 2x that of the iPhone 3G and 3GS and then one screen res for the iPad 1, 2, (hypothetical) 2Nano (this 7" one) plus exactly 2x that for the iPad 3 then really it's all the same as it is now.
All the iPhones have one screen type, and all the iPads have another, the only change being the long anticipated, expected, and planned for addition of the iPad 3's retina display. Not fragmented at all, as they have built in the ability to handle the 2x resolutions in to the OS quite neatly.

You're all wrong
These are the screens for the new 7" iPhone. That'll sort out all those pesky reviews, where people claim the larger new Androids have superior screens...
Personally I think the iPhone 4 is too big, and prefer the shape/size of the 3GS. Let alone some of the 4.5" behemoths.
I wonder though, if they couldn't really bugger up the Android tablet sales. More than they already have that is. A 7" iPad at £300 might look pretty tempting in comparison to any of the Android tablets. I really don't think Android has got the name recognition in the UK that I suspect it has in the US (from all the ads in American Football matches I see).
