There are some that would prefer a 7" tablet but I believe for it would be a small minority. That size impairs leisure content viewing and productivity applications. I can use my iPad for viewing/entering medical records, radiology images I wouldn't want to do that on a 7" tablet. Most other enterprise applications are the same I believe. Same with educational use. Same with leisure/entertainment use. A very light 9 - 10" tablet is best for 90% of uses IMO. There is a reason a sheet of paper evolved to a certain size. If Android tablets are equivalent weight to the iPad 2 then no advantage gained. I'm betting weight reduction has been a significant focus of Apple, iPad 2 weight will be surprising low in weight, and Android OEMs will be left to scramble once again catch up to Apple.
