nonsense. they didn't build the tablet at 7" because of it's increased portability. the picked the price point and built to it.”

Nonsense its the DPI that matters together with how far away from your eyes it is. There are plenty of sites that tell you the optimal TV size you should buy depending on how far away you are for that very reason. The resolution means very little, 960-by-640 is great for my iPhone 4 at 3.5 inches but on a 10 inch screen would be awful due to the lower DPI.
As long as a tablet has over 200DPI the screen will look great, be it any size.
I also have to disagree with your second point as IMO the increased portability (and low cost) is how they are trying to sell this. I dont think they sat there and said we are going to sell this at $200, lets make as big a tablet as we can with that constraint. They will have done market research to find what people want in respect to price, size, weight and so forth and built a product to best meet that.
