Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO, has almost ruled out the possibility iPad 7-inch produced, he said that “ The format is too small, and that people would have to "use sandpaper to sand down their fingers to use the screen.".
The comments from the big boss Apple,Inc. come as the company has announced a record quarter where the company sold, amongst other things, over 4 million iPads in total.
On the other hand, rumors have circulated several times that Apple preparing to launch iPad 7-inch version as an effort to build the success of the first version and attempt to ward off challenges from companies such as Samsung Galaxy Tablets.
According to the research note issued by Rodman & Renshaw analyst Ashok Kumar Apple today, may wish to develop a new version of the iPad, this one with 7-inch screen to be launched in 2011.
Kumar claims that based on his research the second generation iPad will have both front and rear facing cameras to make it easier for video conferencing on the device, using Apple’s Facetime.
In April Digitimes Research whose senior analyst Mingchi Kuo, believes that's what's on Apple's mind too.
What was delivered by Jobs yesterday when the company's earnings call obviously has already broken the tablet market rumors and speculation that exist at present. And Jobs tell those listening what's what when it comes to the state of the tablet market.
Apple's CEO, who finds the iPad dominating the tablet industry, had plenty to say about the new sector and what he believed would and wouldn't work.
Talking about the "the avalanche of tablets", Jobs told those listening that he believes there are only a few credible competitors, and that they mostly all have 7-inch screens. "This size isn't sufficient to create great tablet apps," says Jobs, before going on to say that, "10-inches is the minimum tablet size." And "7-inch tablets are tweeners; too big to compete against a smartphone, and too small to compete with the iPad."
Jobs believes that smartphone users will already have a phone in their pocket so there is no point jumping up only a little amount.
In the same event Jobs angry, not only this competition tablet size, but also software problems. He said, "Even Google is telling tablet companies to wait for a new release of Android next year...What does it mean when software supplier says not to use software for tablets, and what does this mean when you ignore them and use it anyway?"
And the last thing you have in mind Steve Jobs about this competition is? That it's going to be "Dead on Arrival".
finally we just wait what will happen……
