New 7 inch iPad is coming
These days, people see news about this new and smaller iPad around the web.
Just like people pointed out that many kids are too young for a laptop. Although they love iPod Touch, it would be nice for them to have something larger because the games they like are mostly puzzle games where you slide stuff around the screen. They can also use this 7 inch iPad to read books. Having a bigger screen is nice for that stuff.
But an iPad is too big and heavy for kids little hands and it's a bit expensive as kid toy. A lot of parents may spend $300 on one that fits kids hands better. A 7" iPad would be a HUGE hit for the holiday season. A 7" iPad would probably cost the same as a Playstation, thus making it a realistic kid present. The $500 iPad doesn't fit that role quite as well.
Few advantage to have 7 inch iPad:
1. cheaper
2. lighter
3. good for reading books
4. easier to carry
If it had GPS unit and dash mountable, it will make GPS unit and with other things.

iSpot
This is a new device provided by Clear.com. It works like hot spot and provide WiFi connection for up to 8 iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone.
At this point of time, the device selling at price of $29. Month by month no contract plan is $25 unlimited plan.
Like Clear.com suggests the location change make big difference sometimes, maybe few inches. If you have this iSpot, you should try to put it in different place as signal is not strong.
It is good for people having a party in a park without Free WiFi service.
Interestingly, the iSpot lets you configure the strength of the WiFi signal to conserve battery life if you don't need much range. I tried to use it with my iPod Touch and listen music through Pandora with this iSpot on the way to work. It works great without any interaption for 18 miles drive.
Pro: connect up to 8 iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad at same price as AT&T unlimited month by month plan(no contract). AT&T plan only for one device.
Con: converge is limited in big cities
