Given the wild success of various Android tablets that are smaller than the iPad many analysts began to consider the fact that Apple may release a 7 inch iPad.

The reasons are abundant, though the primary reason is simply that Steve Jobs was very opposed to a smaller iPad so no development could have begun. No word yet on when the iPad 3 will come out but don’t count on a baby brother coming out with it.
