No one would buy it. It's smaller; therefore it has to be cheaper.
Apple used to charge MORE for smaller laptops, they can do whatever they want, people will buy it.
My concern is if they chase the lower price instead of just the smaller form-factor, that they'll neuter the specs so much that people like me who really want a 7" iPad will not want the particular product that they come out with. I want a real full-reatured iPad, I just want it smaller. I'm more than willing to pay whatever that costs.

A rubber nub that just extends the touch metaphor is not even close to the same thing as a pressure sensitive stylus. If you've used a Wacom tablet, you would not find the iPad's current stylus options very appealing. If they could figure out a way to make them pressure sensitive, that could be huge.

Haven't we heard this all before? I still haven't seen the iPhone nano, also rumored by WSJ among others:

The first iPhone nano rumor actually came out before the release of the first iPhone. It was always idiotic. This is just about the same.
