"If a 7.8" tablet requires pencil thin fingers, who exactly is buying all those iPhones and what are they using to operate them?" The iPad's greatness is for use with real productivity apps like in businesses and schools. For most things, except phone calls, I find the iPhone's screen to be too small. Games would be ok on a 7" screen.

Slacker,please educate this old man. The iPhone has a touch screen feature. How come I cannot use the erase of my pencil to press the virtual button?

If a 7.8" tablet requires pencil thin fingers, who exactly is buying all those iPhones and what are they using to operate them? iPhone apps have fewer controls on each screen than iPad apps, but the controls are of adequate size on the iPhone. Orion is talking about what it would be like to run present-day iPad apps on a significantly smaller screen. It's a problem that Steve Jobs identified. Jobs often said that this or that thing was impossible or a bad idea, only to do it himself later.
