Simply put I am for any product that Apple decides to make.
They just eclipse their competition.

I remember thinking the 7-inch form factor was DOA as well.... but that was before the Retina display (and also before I did things like watch flix on my tiny iPhone while waiting in bars).After watching AAPL cannibalize themselves into total domination all over the price landscape with the iPod, I can't really argue against an attempt to do the same with tablets.
My thinking on this has evolved as well. If anyone can figure out how to make a 7 or 8" tablet that isn't just a shrunken version of a larger one, and which has its own compelling features, I believe Apple can. I'm still certain that they won't sell it for $199, and that they won't need to, because it won't be some stripped-down piece of junk.

watch flix on my tiny iPhone

Believe it or not, Steve Jobs once thought no one would want to watch videos on their little iPod screens. He was wrong. I have a feeling he might be wrong about a smaller iPad as well. I have seen people get quite comfortable with their diminutive Android tablets, so why let Google have all the fun? ;-)
