There's a audience for 7" and 10".... is there a bigger audience for 7"? Yeah absolutely. Simply because it is a competitor against the Kindle and Nook, and its more "realistic" (to a certain extent) when it comes to reading magazines, books.

But there needs to be a Nexus tablet with proper TABLET UI as well as a flagship device for developers to 'test tablet apps' on.
Nexus 4 (E960): CarbonRom Nightlies | Franco Kernel (latest nightly)
ASUS Transformer (TF101): Team EOS4 #150 | K.A.T. 90
Older phones: Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S, Samsung Vibrant, G1

Tbh, the 7" nexus would suit me better. Odd browsing, few games, news app etc. 10"seems overkill to me and the £150 price point makes it a very worthwhile purchase. Can't really go wrong for that money.

The size is the only thing I don't like about the nexus 7. I don't bring my tablet everywhere since I have my phone. My touchpad is a good size I think. Maybe a little Smaller would be nice. 8-9"seems like a good size.

I actually quote myself from the nexus 7 thread :P :

I'm pretty sure I understand why Google decided to release it the way it did. Releasing a smaller tab with limited storage and therefore a lower price, makes it a different class than the iPad. Because of the low price lots of, LOTS OF, people will buy it so it. This will encourage more developers to develop tablet apps, so that in a year or something, google can release a 10 inch tablet saying it has good app support, which android tablets today just don't have
