Some iPad Magazines Already Offering Subscriptions

Steve Jobs Says a Big No to 7 Inch iPad Models

including some very choice words on Apple’s view on and the prospects for 7 inch tablets. I think it’s safe to say (unless this is one giant Jobsian ruse) that he has ruled out any 7 inch iPad models coming in future.

Here are some of his words on this (with a little paraphrasing where I couldn’t take notes fast enough):

My favourite app Tuesday – iAnnotate
