Because the technology and battery efficiency weren't up to the satisfaction of Apple's standard of excellence.
The same as the lack of text messaging until 3rd gen, video, 3rd gen, camera flash 4th gen, etc, etc, etc.
So in 2009 Android-based phones had a higher than 480x320 resolution but Apple couldn't increase it all? Then all of a sudden in 2010 it was possible to quadruple the number of pixels?
But isn't 10 inches better than 7? You don't have too many ads on size reduction.
Probably but not for everyone. Why do Apple make the MBP in 3 sizes? Most people would say that 15" is the ideal size, but then others would argue that 13" is better and some would argue that 17" is better. You see my point? Not everyone has the same requirements.
Apple likes to do things in 3's. If we have a 4" iPhone/iPod, 7" iPad Mini and 10" iPad then Apple has all the bases covered.
As hmurchison says it's about keeping as many customers inside the Apple eco system as possible because once you're in there and hooked into iOS apps, iTunes, etc you're more likely to say within that eco system simply because it's easier.
The 7" Kindle Fire is a trojan horse. It gets people into the Amazon eco system. Then they start buying Android apps, Kindle books, music, etc. Once you?re in why would you then switch to an iPad if Amazon launch a 10" Kindle Fire.

You asked the ridiculous question why did it take so long for the iPhone to get high resolution until gen 4? and I gave you the obvious answer- it wasn't invented/ready for implentation yet.

Excuse me - but look in the mirror dude. I just proved the failure of your post. You're the one who can't take criticism and can never be proven wrong in your (fill in the blank) mind. You reputation speaks for itself.
Apple should just make this the next iPhone. Then we'll see of all those fandroids with boners for 5 inch screens really want an iPhone with a bigger screen, or were just trolling and had no intention of ever buying an iPhone.
It actually makes sense. The primary use is tablet and secondary - phone - you would use speakerphone or bluetooth headset to make calls. Device like that is for people who don't use cell phone much and don't want to carry a second device.
This is probably piece of junk but sure sounds tempting: 7" Inch Android Tablet/GSMphone 3G for $93! There are other options and only for couple hundred bux you can get a decent (for the money) tablet/phone.

I think you make a great argument for a larger, still pocketable device, but it's hard to see people with 7.85" iPad the same way they carry an iPhone.
I think you make. Great argument for a lager, still pocketable device, but it's hard to see peopl with 7.85" iPads the same way they carry an iPhone.
Are you typing on your iPhone this morning with spell-check turned off? I don't think I've ever seen so many of your posts with spelling errors all in a single day.

Again this is not for everyone. But a lot of people carry both a phone and a tablet. I see a lot of 6-7" Kindles and some iPads - people use on go (bus,train or office).
I would buy a hybrid 7" iPad/phone in a heartbeat. I make only 1-2 phone calls a day but I do a lot of web browsing/emailing/e-reading, so having a second device-phone for me is a bit overkill. 5.3" Samsung Note may be a solution but it's a bit too small.

LOL That is more than my usual share of typos I was at the gym and responding between sets.

I certainly don't make a lot of calls but I still want the device to be pocketable. Of course, my wishes certainly don't match everyone's, and perhaps not even most, but I think it's easier to argue for a pocketable phone than one that isn't.

Not sure about the mini-iPad, but it makes more sense (to me) to release this year's iPhone a few months after WWDC. It's likely that iOS 6.0 will have some major changes (including a hugely improved mapping API, obviously). And major changes mean that developers will need time to update their apps to use the new and/or updated features.

why do you think the iPhone didn't get a resolution update until its 4th generation?
Because the technology didn't exist at the time as 1st gen and/or battery efficiency weren't up to the satisfaction of Apple's standard of excellence.
The same as the lack of text messaging until 3rd gen, video 3rd gen, camera flash 4th gen, etc, etc, etc.

What I like about the idea of 7" iPad is that it has a chance to fit in my jacket/coat pocket. The 10" iPad won't.
The many, many people I see daily on the subway happily using 6" screen tablets would agree with you.

So do I. This is 6" Kindle and 7" Playbook (sorry for the large size pictures):
