“There are clear limits of how close you can physically place elements on a touch screen before users cannot reliably tap, flick or pinch them. This is one of the key reasons we think the 10-inch screen size is the minimum size required to create great tablet apps,” he said. Jobs failed to mention Apple’s success developing apps that use taps, flicks and pinches on the iPhone, with its 3.5-inch screen. I agree with Jobs on this, oddly enough. He didn't mention that because iPhone apps are quite different. They don't attempt to fit anywhere near as many controls on the screen as comparable iPad apps do. Maybe you could get developers to get on board with a third screen size. But I think in most cases they'd have to build custom apps for that size in order to provide a great user experience.
