New reports by analyst Ezra Gottheil of Technology Business Research suggest that Apple may well be planning the release of a 7" tablet - basically an iPad mini - in an attempt to smack Kindle out of the eReader market. This report is being questioned by many, however, as Steve Jobs believed 7" screens ruined the users experience and didn't want the brand to ever release something that size. The iPhone and iPod touch also do basically the same thing, only on a slightly smaller screen. Thoughts?
