While I'm persuaded by many of your views, I'm not so sure on 
that.

There are reports like Bloomberg's of a forthcoming smaller Apple tablet:

Moving to its own maps from Google's seems like a compromise 
by Apple toward lower quality.

And Siri is losing badly to Google Now in most head to head 
comparisons. People such as Wozniak seem to think that Apple 
compromised quality by over-accentuating commercial aspects of 
Siri. http://mashable.com/2012/06/15/wozniak-on-siri/

I wonder which will arrive first, a 10" Nexus or a 7-8" iPad. 
Both seem likely.
