Even apple would lose out with such a device in reduced margins, lower larger iPad sales etc. I totally agree with you. Why fix something that is not broken. Leave a little room for the competition to keep the feds out of the way. Over time, I strongly feel that just like iPods the competition will fade away. Today's 2-3 year olds using the iPad will stick with Apple products all their life. That is the key to Apple's success.

Total crock! Even apple would lose out with such a device in reduced margins, lower larger iPad sales etc. You don't think there is a chance that a smaller iPad at a lower price would be incremental? The gross profit dollars might be lower but the gross profit percentage might be the same. If the tablet market continues to grow, as I think it will, Apple will need a complete line to defend their turf.
