Is it a rule imposed by the phone carriers, who want you to buy a different plan with no voice service if you have a tablet? It can't be the phone makers since the are so many. It can't be Android software licenses since Apple seems affected too. I'd be pretty interested in a tablet sized phone. But they seem to have maxed out in the current tall skinny format that is not really big enough for some things. Just wondering.
Edit: aha, I managed to get rid of the stupid photo. Thanks for the help.
This is my assumption, the demand for people that want a 7" phone does not justify the cost of development and manufacturing. Yes, there will be people that would want it, but just like the iPhone Mini, the demand wasn't justified to continue producing the smaller phone.
Generally 6" to 6.5" seems to be the sweet spot that is large enough to use, and small enough that it fits in my pocket comfortably.
