Apple to announce 7-inch iPad?

An iPad is coming soon. We all know that. Apple has been reportedly finalizing applications for an early March release. Are they going to plan anything radically different this time, though? There are chances that the company is readying a 7-inch iPad, soon, as reported by Computer World. Ezra Gottheil, an analyst with Technology Business Research, mentioned that iPad's announcement is coming soon enough. Gottheil also specified quite clearly that, "I believe that's always been in the plan. Actually that's a good form factor for some users, and although they will also charge a premium above other similar-sized tablets, they want to protect that price flank." Jobs had a problem with that form factor earlier, and he had clearly indicated his dislike for a seven inch tablet, but if this report is to be believed, then things are supposedly changing. Gottheil also stated that though there are great chances of a new 7-inch tablet, chances that it will be launched at the same event as the iPad 3 are rather slim.
